| book description |

Inâ€¯a debut novel that's perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Erin Entrada Kelly, award-winning author/illustrator and educator Pat Cummingsâ€¯tells a poignant storyâ€¯aboutâ€¯grief,â€¯love, and theâ€¯untold storiesâ€¯thatâ€¯echoâ€¯acrossâ€¯time. Trace Carter doesn't know howâ€¯toâ€¯feel at ease in his new life in New York. Even thoughâ€¯his artsy Auntie Lea is cool, her brownstone still isn't hisâ€¯home. Haunted by flashbacks of the accident that killed his parents, the best he can do is try to distract himself from memories of the past. But the past isn't done with him. When Trace takes a wrong turnâ€¯inâ€¯the New York Public Library, he finds someone else lost in the stacksâ€¯with him: a crying little boy,â€¯wearingâ€¯old,â€¯tattered clothes. And though at first he can't quite believe he's seen a ghost, Trace soon discovers that theâ€¯boy he sawâ€¯has ties to Trace's own history--and that heâ€¯himselfâ€¯may be the key to setting the dead to rest.â€¯
