Steinbeck's Ghost by Lewis Buzbee
3.0
Really, I want to give this book 3 1/2 stars. Mostly, I felt like this story had potential.
When Travis and his parents move to Bella Linda Terrace, nothing seems right. The local library starts to close. Mysterious things keep happening all around Salinas. More or less, things get weird. I really liked the parts of the book that focused on books and saving the library, but I didn't really get into the whole Ghost aspect. I kind of just felt like the same end goals could have been accomplished without the weird haunting aspect of the story.
