Description

“Ghost Boys” by Jewell Parker Rhodes is a powerful middle-grade novel that explores themes of racism, prejudice, and social justice. The story follows Jerome, a 12-year-old Black boy who is tragically shot and killed by a white police officer while playing with a toy gun. After his death, Jerome becomes a ghost and watches over his family as they grieve and fight for justice. As a ghost, Jerome meets other “ghost boys,” including Emmett Till, a real-life victim of racial violence from the 1950s. Together, they reflect on the systemic racism that has caused their deaths. Jerome also forms a connection with Sarah, the daughter of the police officer who killed him. Through their conversations, Sarah begins to question her father’s actions and her own understanding of race and privilege. The novel is a poignant exploration of how racial injustice affects individuals, families, and society, and it encourages readers to confront prejudice and seek change.
