The Ghosts of Luckless Gulch

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Santat. Estrella has two special talents: healing animals and running fast ("she burned the air around her, leaving behind a glowing trail of flames"). When greedy ghosts kidnap Estrella's pets, she must run the undead prospectors out of town. This cleverly crafted tall tale features funny and sometimes spooky acrylic and ink paintings of hollow-eyed gold-hunters and a fiery heroine.
