![]() ![]() ![]() I was probably 8 or 9 when I read this book, so I was at the younger end of the target age group. The two of them discover the secret of Inez, the dead girl, and embark on a mission to return her body to her home in New Orleans. ![]() He wants nothing to do with ghosts and even less to do with Blossom, who lives in a shack on the wrong side of the tracks with her alcoholic mother (Alexander is kind of a prig, but apparently I dig that). More specifically, Blossom has been directed to help him by her gypsy mother who has “the sight.” Alexander is not about it. Another problem for Alexander is Blossom Culp, a seventh-grade classmate of his from Horace Mann Elementary, who says she wants to help. He hates this and goes into full-blown early-onset male denial. Alexander Armsworth, a young boy from a well-to-do local family, discovers, to his complete dismay, that he can see ghosts: one ghost in particular-a girl with a mysterious story. The story is set in turn of the century Bluff City, Missouri. The Ghost Belonged to Me is a novel by Richard Peck, author of Newbery Medal winning A Year Down Yonder. ![]()
