Lu and the Swamp Ghost

When I was a little boy, my favorite stories where the ones Mama told about the adventures she had growing up....Now that I have two little girls of my own, I want to share one of my mamas stories with them, and with you. And so, approche.... -- James Carville Mama always said, Youre never poor if you have a loving family and one good friend. Well, Lu has a family but no friend -- so maybe she is just a little poor. How all changes one day down on the Louisiana bayou -- when Lu comes face-to-face with a for-real, live swamp ghost -- is at the heart of this flavorful, funny...and compassionate story. Meet a girl with lots of pluck and plenty of courage in this Depression-era tale thats based on an episode in the childhood of James Carvilles mother.,
