American history mixes with legend in four classic ghost tales for Step 4 early readers: a Cape Cod ghost horse that leads ships away from danger; a portrait that protests being moved within Virginia’s Shirley Plantation museum; a Colorado miner who continued to look for love even after his bones were dumped down an outhouse hole; and a one-handed California sea captain whose ghost is still said to prowl Stinson Beach.
 
Step 4 Readers use challenging vocabulary and short paragraphs to tell exciting stories. For newly independent readers who read simple sentences with confidence.
Lori Haskins Houran is the author of more than sixty books for kids, including several Little Golden Books. Lori may have had a slight crush on Michael J. Fox in the 1980s. (She still may have a slight crush on Michael J. Fox, even though she is happily married.) Lori lives with her family on the North Shore of Massachusetts.

Illustrator Giovanni Abeille was born and raised in Naples, a beautiful city in southen Italy overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. View titles by Lori Haskins Houran
