"Ghost Train" story in Cricket

[Linda Anderson]

For those of you who are interested in the legend of the Lincoln ghost train, Cricket Magazine has published my short story, "Ghost Train," in its February and March 2016 issues.

The story is about a boy whose grandfather, a Civil War vet, insists on taking his grandson to see the ghost train when it travels through Albany on the 53rd anniversary of the real funeral train's visit on April 26, 1865.

The illustrations were done by Phil Huling and they are amazing!

I used Scott Trostel's book, The Lincoln Funeral Train, for my author's note on the real funeral train. Interestingly, the article directly after my story is titled "Lincoln Laughs."

Here are the links to Cricket for anyone who might want to purchase the issues.
