Everything you need to understand or teach Ghost Train by Jess Mowry.
Compared to his hard-hitting tales about inner-city street life, Ghost Train is a lighter book, depicting realistic characters involved in a mysterious haunting. From his first night in his new home, Remi Du Mont is haunted by a railroad train that chugs straight toward his window and then veers sharply into a curve toward a shipyard that does not exist during the day. He and his new friend Niya Bedford find themselves with a mystery to solve—a mystery that dates back to World War II and to two men who hitched a ride on a train one night, long ago.
