But strange things really are happening there. Slimy footprints appear out of nowhere, and whimpering sounds float down from the hayloft. And when he ventures into the barn in the dark of night, his breath catches in his throat. Suddenly Blossom's words come back to him: "You can make contact with the Unseen...." Now there's a girl ghost standing right in front of him, telling him of great danger ahead. But is there time for Alexander to act on her warning? Blossom Culp #1 Pecks blending of mystery and humor makes an unusual and entertaining ghost story. Booklist, starred review

This book was a total surprise. I was expecting a fun, fluffy, right-amount-of-spooky, though somewhat simple, middle-grade ghost story. Instead, it is a historical, slice-of-life, coming of age piece with a paranormal twist. Definitely would be considered YA more than Middle Grade nowadays. The writing was phenomenal. Reminded me a bit of the Anne of Green Gables series. Hard to find YA books like this anymore. Will def read the sequels.

Literary_Siren I love Peck‘s Blossom Culp series! 🖤 5y

I've read Ghosts I Have Been multiple times, but for some reason I'd never read any of the other books in the series. This one was just as enjoyable though there wasn't a lot of Blossom Culp.

Sadly I've not been able to read much during the #reversereadathon 😔 I was asleep by 9 last night and I'm still trying to get my room ready before school starts. I did manage a couple of chapters of this though.

Sace @Lcsmcat just a driver's license renewal. I couldn't renew online this year since it's time for a new photo. 5y
Lcsmcat @RestlessFickleBookHoarder I hope at least that they weren‘t on #1 when you arrived. 5y
Sace @Lcsmcat lol... No. It actually turned out to be less than 30 minutes. A little bummed I didn't get to read, but pleased I wasn't there long. 5y

A childhood favorite I read again and again. Picked up a used copy and reading a bit aloud each evening to the kidlets. #familytime #memories #makingmemories
