Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor Information"Ramona Nehring-Silver's memories of living in and around Walhachin as a child and exploring the surroundings with seven siblings provided the initial inspirations for The Ghost of Walhachin. Ongoing motivation, and sometimes interruptions, came from her four children and thirteen grandchildren. She now lives in the far northeast corner of British Columbia, where her teaching career has ranged from adult art and writing classes to elementary school. Exploring B.C. and beyond by motorcycle is her favorite thing to do, as well as spending time with her grandchildren. ""The Ghost of Walhachin is an unusual ghost story. It's not spooky; instead, it's an engaging tale of adventure and enduring friendships, with a slice of history."" Helen Davies - Tellwell Editor ""Compared to contemporary children's literature, which can sometimes seem overly prone to harsh realities, THE GHOST OF WALHACHIN-with its sociable ghost and its intergenerational friendships- is a welcome change of pace.""
