Author Profile

I looked up an author by the name of Peg Kehret. She wrote this one book titled The Ghost's Grave. It's about a boy named Josh that thinks he is going to spend a long, boring summer with his aunt. The tables turn when he meets a ghost of a coal miner that was killed in an explosion. The ghost, Willie, has been waiting for someone to dig up his leg and rebury it with the rest of him so that he can finally rest forever. Josh does agree to do this favor, but finds a lot more than just a leg- he finds a box of cash also. Who buried it, and why? And how far will they go to get it back? This story was the winner of young reader awards in PA, NH, TN, WA, and SD.
