Most of the books I post about are picture books – and occasionally middle grade…but once in a while, a dear friend like Sherry Howard launches a YA and, when that happens, I just have to SING!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SPIRITS AMONG US!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
Here’s a little snippet from Amazon to give you an idea of what the book is about:
Scooter has been wheelchair bound ever since the accident that took her mother’s life. Carrying on her mother’s ghost hunting work, Scooter and her best friend Harlan create a YouTube show called Spirits Among Us. Wanting to get a message from her mother before she passes over, Scooter buys a special ghost-hunting camera and places it in her family’s cemetery. But, when a string of robberies frighten the locals, will the camera capture more than a ghost?
The first chapter captured my attention…and I just wanted to keep on reading. And we definitely need more books that feature differently abled kids as the main character,
