The Ghosts of Whitner by JA LeVitt

Ghosts of Whitner, is published by WordWright.

The Ghosts of Whitner by J.A. LeVitt

When eleven year old Josie and her family arrive in the old, deserted Whitner, Alabama Iron Company town, she thinks the summer will be the same as all the other times her father has done research. But then she meets Lucy, her first real friend.

The girls explore the town together until Josie finds that Whitner and her new friend are not what they seem. Lucy knows things about the town and its people that Josie would have never guessed.

This is a ghost story that's not satisfied with being merely suspenseful and scary. It's also informative about old steel mill towns and race relations in the South. Its characters share lessons of loyalty and friendship.

Critical Aclaim for The Ghosts of Whitner

"The story moves quickly, and the writing is crystal clear. The imagery and mystery blend well, making it a wonderful story where you can follow along with Josie and Lucy."
       -- Terry Doherty, www.readingtub.com

It is a wonderful book. I know the children who read it will be richer for the experience. I certainly am.
