![]() I don’t read as many works inspired by American Indian or First Nations cultures as I’d like, so when I saw this, I jumped on it immediately. Rooted in a Cree worldview and inspired by stories about the author’s great-grandmother’s life, The Ghost Collector delves into questions of grief and loss, and introduces an exciting new voice in tween fiction that will appeal to fans of Kate DiCamillo’s Louisiana’s Way Home and Patrick Ness’s A Monster Calls. Why hasn’t her mom’s ghost come home yet? But no matter how many ghost cats, dogs, or people she hides in her room, Shelly can’t ignore the one ghost that’s missing. Instead of helping spirits move on, Shelly starts hoarding them. When Shelly’s mom dies suddenly, Shelly’s relationship to ghosts-and death-changes. Just like all the women in their family, they can see souls who haven’t transitioned yet it’s their job to help the ghosts along their journey. Ghosts aren’t meant to stick around forever… ![]()
