~Written by Anne E. Johnson
Ebenezer's Locker by Anne E. Johnson is an intriguing ghost story that will pique readers' interest until the last page. Rhonda Zymler is an average 6th grader struggling just to survive each school day. So why would a 100 year old ghost enlist her help to find a lost locker? The more Rhonda tries to ignore the ghost the more persistent it becomes. Finally, Rhonda can't take it anymore and confides in her friends. Together they discover the secrets of Corbin Elementary School, formerly Corbin's School for Psychical Research, and the reasons behind this ghostly encounter. In an effort to assist the spirit in finding peace Rhonda and her friends seek out the talents of the town psychic, Tallulah. Rhonda must travel back in time to find the clues to unlock the mystery and save the town and school. Ebenezer's Locker is extremely well written and easily incorporates fantasy into real life making the story believable. The author also captures the attitude and language of a pre-teen girl perfectly in her main character, Rhonda. I highly recommend Ebenezer's Locker. You won't be disappointed.
