I listened to this #audiobook while on a long car ride. When Jayna's brother Rob is deployed during WWII, she has to stay with the landlady. Discovering that they may have a grandmother in Brooklyn, Jayna runs away to try to find her. I really enjoyed the historical aspects of this #childrensnovel. However, I didn't like the ghost aspect & kept wondering what was up with it. Overall, it's a decent work of #historicalfiction for young readers.
