A new quirky-funny book from the author of Unusual Chickens for the
Exceptional Poultry Farmer about a boy whose plans for the summer go
sideways when the ghost of his great-great-grandmother demands his
attention.
HD Schenk is a maker--an inventor, someone who builds cool stuff. He's
got a plan for the summer: he'll build his own computer and enter it in
the county fair. Then everyone will know who he is and what he can do.
To earn enough money for the parts he'll need, HD has promised to clear
out his uncle's overflowing basement. No big deal, right? But there's
more in that basement than HD bargained for. On his first trip down
there, a voice only he can hear starts talking to him.
About...sauerkraut?
Who knew the ghost of his great-great-grandmother was haunting an old
pickling crock? She's got a grand plan, too. She wants HD to help make
her famous recipe for sauerkraut and enter it in the county fair so that
she can be declared pickle queen.
After some initial shock, HD is willing enough to help. This ghost is
family, after all. But only HD can really see and hear his Oma, which is
going to make it hard for her to win on her own...
Kelly Jones spins a wonderfully goofy ghost tale that celebrates
creative problem solving, family ties, and makers of every variety.
