Only
the

can
make
the
world
better.
Live
and
make
it
better.
Twelve-year-old
Jerome
is
shot
by
a
police
officer
who
mistakes
his
toy
gun
for
a
real
threat.
As
a
ghost,
he
observes
the
devastation
that's
been
unleashed
on
his
family
and
community
in
the
wake
of
what
they
see
as
an
unjust
and
brutal
killing.
Soon
Jerome
meets
another
ghost:
Emmett
Till,
a
boy
from
a
very
different
time
but
similar
circumstances.
Emmett
helps
Jerome
process
what
has
happened,
on
a
journey
towards
recognizing
how
historical
racism
may
have
led
to
the
events
that
ended
his
life.
Jerome
also
meets
Sarah,
the
daughter
of
the
police
officer,
who
grapples
with
her
father's
actions.
Once
again
Jewell
Parker
Rhodes
deftly
weaves
historical
and
socio-political
layers
into
a
gripping
and
poignant
story
about
how
children
and
families
face
the
complexities
of
today's
world,
and
how
one
boy
grows
to
understand
American
blackness
in
the
aftermath
of
his
own
death.

Praise
forGhost
Boys:
"This was one of my most anticipated 2018 books and I was not disappointed. A must read."—Angie Thomas, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give
* "An excellent novel that delves into the timely topic of racism... with the question of whether or not we really have come far when dealing with race relations."—School Library Connection, starred review
"In writing that's spare and powerful, Rhodes takes us into the hearts and minds of those who are left behind, and then out into a vast and luminous world where ghost boys wander among the living, pursuing their mysterious mission. Rhodes has achieved something remarkable here: a kid's-eye-view of violence and racism that balances innocence and outrage, wrenching loss and hard-won hope."—Chicago Tribune
"A timely, challenging book that's worthy of a read, further discussion, and action."—Kirkus
"[A] potent story that deserves to be read."—VOYA
"Ghost Boysis powerful in prose, and so important at this time. I hope parents will read this book to their children."—The Monitor
"Written beautifully...an important novel."—WCMU Public Radio
