How I Became a Ghost by Tim Tingle
Told in the words of Isaac, a Choctaw boy who does not survive the Trail of Tears, How I Became a Ghost is a tale of innocence and resilience in the face of tragedy. From the opening line, Maybe you have never read a book written by a ghost before, the reader is put on notice that this is no normal book. Isaac leads a remarkable foursome of Choctaw comrades: a tough-minded teenage girl, a shape-shifting panther boy, a lovable five-year-old ghost who only wants her mom and dad to be happy, and Isaac's talking dog, Jumper. The first in a trilogy, How I Became a Ghost thinly disguises an important and oft-overlooked piece of history.Tim Tingle is a Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma enrolled member and a frequent speaker at tribal gatherings. His great-great grandpa, John Carnes, walked the Trail of Tears in 1835, and his writing and storytelling are fueled by his recollections of this family saga. Tingle, the author of six books, was a featured speaker at the Smithsonian Institute's Native American wing in 2006 and 2007.
