Ghost Hedgehog<\/a><\/em> (2011) Nina Kiriki Hoffman<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Jack is in fifth grade and can see ghosts.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for him, when his fifth-grade teacher dies, he discovers that ghosts can also see him, and attach themselves to him.<\/p>\n

I love Nina Kiriki Hoffman’s writing and stories.<\/p>\n

I love even better that eBooks can make these stories available without having to stumble upon an anthology that may or may not contain a story by authors I love. I can’t say that Amazon has made is easy for me to find these stories, but the store is getting better, and the fact that they’re available at all is pretty wonderful as far as I’m concerned.<\/p>\n

This is a stand alone story (as many of her stories are) so if you were looking for an introduction to her style, you could certainly do so here.
