Winner of the Governor General's Award, the Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon Illustrator's Award, the Elizabeth Mrazik-Cleaver Award and the Ruth Schwartz Award This powerful, unforgettable and multi-award-winning tale is based on the lives of the Chinese who settled on the west coast of North America in the early 1900s. Left behind in China by her father, who has gone to North America to find work, Choon-yi has made her living by selling her paintings in the market. When her father writes one day and asks her to join him, she joyously sets off, only to discover that he has been killed. Choon-yi sees the railway and the giant train engines that her father died for, and she is filled with an urge to paint them. But her work disappoints her until a ghostly presence beckons her to board the train where she meets the ghosts of the men who died building the railway. She is able to give them peace by returning their bones to China where they were born.

Book Description

Does the supernatural exist? The manager of First American's Zenith Mine calls Kevin Traynor to the rescue: A phantom train is depopulating an Arizona mining town! Are legends of lost treasure and a spooky past the clue to the phantom train mystery? A nosy reporter, an uncooperative sheriff, a young librarian, a strange old Indian, the town gossip - will any of the remaining citizens of the town help Traynor to defend their world against superstition? But is Traynor fighting against superstition - or against the supernatural? The fact that he falls in love with a lady mining engineer who reminds him of his girlfriend back in New York does not make things any easier - or does it? When the phantom train really appears, all bets are off... Kevin Traynor. With the right to be politically incorrect.

Book Description

The ruins of an industrial past provide the perfect haunting grounds in this spirited Ohio city. Run down the apparitions that float down Rubber City streets and façades like the shadow of a passing blimp. Stroll along forgotten canals amid the restless chatter and clank of spirits cut down before their hard lives became easier. Catch a show at the Civic Theater with a “former” engineer who prophesied that death wouldn’t keep him from work. A more restive spirit is that of John Tedrow, a twenty-something mauled and murdered during a drunken brawl in 1882; he wails for help and resolution. In this ghostly tour through Akron’s haunted and sometimes brutal past, paranormal specialist and historian Jeri Holland digs into the ghost tales and local legends that linger here like this city’s industrial heritage. “Haunted Akron is a tour of events, places and creepy legends.” —Ohio.com
