About the Author

Dear Rock Star Reader,
Books are like amusement parks, and this one here is a roller coaster. As you begin your reading adventure, I just want to chime in and say get ready for an incredibly amazing experience reimagining some of your favorite books. That’s right: between the pages of this book, Ghostwriter is bringing your favorite characters to life to help solve a mystery. How cool is that?
I bet you think that because I’m an author, I love to read. Well, you’re right! In order to become a good writer, you gotta be a great reader. Every time you read a meaningful or magical poem or story or really clever post, you’re instantly transformed and sometimes transported to new ideas and worlds: sports arenas, foreign lands, outer space, other times in history, and even other kids’ lives. But I wasn’t always that way.
When I was twelve, I thought reading was uncool. Why? Because my dad chose huge, boring books he thought I should read. After a few years of that torture, my mom encouraged me to pick out my own books at our local library, and I found my way back to finding reading cool. (I guess you could say I started choosing my own rides at the amusement park.) Then I started reading everything—chapter books, short stories, comic books, biographies, and, of course, poetry. Ghostwriter, like my mom, believes that there’s a perfect book for every kid out there. And the one you’re reading could be yours.
I love getting lost in a good story, and there are so, so many great stories out there just waiting for you. Our friend Ghostwriter is gonna help you find them—and then rock your world one page at a time.
I thank you for your attention, and I’m outta here!
Poet, Educator, and Newbery Medal–winning author of The Crossover
Chapter 1
The kid looked scared.
He charged into the town of Silver Spur, holding tight to the worn leather saddle for fear he might be slung from his powerful ride. A cloud of brown dust kicked up everywhere. It clung to his white shirt and white cowboy hat as he flew along Main Street, looking for help.
Silver Spur was a sleepy little Western town with wooden sidewalks and dirt streets. There was a blacksmith shop, a general store, an undertaker’s parlor, a feed and grain store, and, halfway to the far end, the Mine Car Hotel. The hotel was the most inviting building on Main Street. It gleamed with a fresh coat of dazzling blue paint and was trimmed by white windows and balconies. It stood out like a special birthday gift next to the drab wooden buildings on either side of it.
Happy sounds of music and laughter from within drew the kid to it like a thirsty traveler headed for a bubbling spring of fresh water. He brought his ride to a quick stop in front. Jumping out of the saddle, he sprinted toward the sounds of life.
He pushed open the front door and looked around. Several wooden tables scattered throughout the lobby were filled with cowboys playing cards, gobbling down beans and crusty bread, and singing. A layer of brown dust covered each and every one of the men, as if they’d just come in from a cattle drive. A frazzled waiter rushed from table to table, keeping the hungry cowboys’ plates filled. A player piano pounded out a rollicking tune.
A splendid time was being had by all.
Except for the kid. He wasn’t happy at all.
He ran to the front desk, scanning about for the hotel clerk. His gaze traveled over an elaborate array of items decorating the shelves behind the counter. He saw sepia-toned photos of miners, stuffed and mounted trophy heads of various-sized elk, and brass bowls filled with beef jerky and hard-boiled eggs. In the dead center, an impressive baseball-size chunk of silver ore rested on a purple pillow.
The kid’s eyes grew wide when he spotted the prize.
Lookin’ for a room, young fella?
The hotel clerk strolled out from a back room behind the counter. He was nearly bald and his handlebar mustache drooped down either side of his mouth, then curled up like a double smile.
Don’t need no room,
the kid said, breathless. I need the sheriff.
Sheriff?
the clerk said with a chuckle. "Ain’t no sheriff in Silver Spur. Ain’t no crime in Silver
