Bookroo's summary
Lars Olafson's life turns upside down when he moves to an old farm near Valley Forge. Miserable and lonely, he encounters Geordie, a ghost with vivid tales of the Revolutionary War. When his Aunt Cass dies unexpectedly, Lars discovers a mystery tied to the past. With only Geordie's spectral stories as his guide, Lars must unravel secrets that could change everything. Can he trust a ghost to lead him to the truth, or will the past remain buried forever?
From the publisher
Lars Olafson moves with his parents to the old family farm near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to live with his aged aunt Cass. Lars is miserable–until he meets Geordie, a ghost whose stories of the Revolutionary War are as exciting as those of an eyewitness. When Aunt Cass dies suddenly, Lars is faced with a mystery linked to the Revolutionary War–and Geordi’s ghostly stories are his only chance of solving it.
