"As the 2014 AIYLA Middle School winning book, it will come as no
surprise that {this book} receives a rousing endorsement ...
deserves a place in any collection that serves audiences interest
in either American Indians or great stories." -- George Gottschalk
"American Indian Library Association"
"The beginning of a trilogy, this tale is valuable for both its
recounting of a historical tragedy and its immersive Choctaw
perspective." -- Vicky Smith "Kirkus Reviews"
"Throughout, this story shines with the warmth that Tingle's
storytelling voice brings to his writing. I highly recommend How I
Became A Ghost. I have it on good authority that we'll hear more
from Isaac. I look forward to it." -- Debbie Reese "American
Indians in Children's Literature"
"Tingle, a Choctaw storyteller, relates his tale in the engaging
repetitions and rhythms of an oft-told story. ... The novel comes
alive in Isaac's voice and in the rich alliance of the living and
the dead." -- Dean Schneider "The Horn Book Magazine"
