Goodbye God, I'm Going to Bodie

When 12-year-old Meggie and her best friend, Paige uncover the missing diary in the ghost town of Bodie, California, they have no idea what secrets had been buried for over a hundred years. Bodie—once known as the "Wildest Mining Camp in the West"—comes to life through the words of Anna Louise Lackmoor. Who is this unknown girl whose words, "Goodbye God, I'm going to Bodie" have become a legend? Why was she afraid? What was she hiding?

Meggie, Paige and a kid named Johnny Downing set out to discover Anna's secrets, but the three Ghostowners end up with a whole lot more than they had bargained for.

Historical fiction crawls out from beneath the sagebrush and skeleton shacks, bringing the West to life and taking middle grade readers on a wild and woolly ride back in time.
