Luke and Jenny looked closer at the man. Then they both saw something else that was very strange about him. He had a faint white, misty glow around him, and they could see through him. They looked at each other as shivers ran up their spines.

“Luke,” whispered Jenny, “are you thinking what I’m thinking?”“Yep,” whispered her brother back, “I think the man is a ghost.”The Swamper knew the children were getting frightened, so he decided to ease their fears.“Actually, I prefer to think of myself as a spirit person. It has a nicer ring to it, don’t you

think? The word ‘ghost’ sounds too much like Halloween.”

Luke and his sister Jenny aren’t overly excited when they first learn of their mother’s plan to take them to Tombstone, Arizona, as part of their vacation. That changes in a hurry when they are suddenly swept back to the 1880s and the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral. The ghost of the Grand Hotel’s handyman, a kindly gentleman by the name of Swamper, guides them through the events of that fateful time. Young readers are right there with Luke and Jenny as they learn firsthand the story of the Earp brothers and what led to the historic shoot-out.

“Gunfight at the OK Corral addresses ethics, morals, principles, and concepts of what makes a human being good, in a most entertaining way. The book also deals with the noble qualities of forgiveness and kindness. These are the things that enrich one’s soul and hence one’s life. The story made me think about who I am and who I want to be.”
