Description
Jerome's life was cut short when he was killed by a police officer who mistook his toy gun for a real one. Now, as a ghost, Jerome watches his family grieve and begins to notice other ghost boys who remain on earth for a reason. As the stories of these ghost boys are revealed, Jerome learns they all share a common thread. The other ghost boys' experiences are unique, but they all have something in common that connects them. This book explores themes of identity, community, and the struggles faced by young people.
