Pat Cummings has just published her first middle grade novel, Trace. It’s a wonderful story full of pre-teens, friendships, family deaths and strengths, history, and Brooklyn. Oh, and a ghost. It’s full of richly observed/remembered experiences and a wonderful main character Trace and his ebullient Aunt Lea.  Do yourself a favor and read it, and get a copy for someone else.
