Ghosts I Have Been

Richard Peck's 'Ghosts I Have Been' introduces readers to Blossom Culp, a spirited and somewhat rebellious girl from Bluff City who claims to see ghosts. To her astonishment, this claim becomes a reality when she genuinely develops second sight, which then transports her back in time to the Titanic's maiden voyage. This chapter book blends historical fiction with supernatural elements, offering a unique perspective on a famous historical event through the eyes of a courageous young protagonist. It explores themes of self-discovery, bravery in the face of danger, and empathy for those who have passed on, making it suitable for readers interested in history, mystery, and the supernatural.

Blossom Culp is the outspoken outcast of Bluff City, always getting into trouble. No one wants to cross her, especially now that she's revealed that she can see the Unseen. Then Blossom herself is stunned, because her lie turns out to be truth. She actually does have second sight...and she is "on board" the sinking Titanic.
