"Steinbeck's Ghost" is new novel for young adults from San Francisco writer Lewis Buzbee. It tells the story of young Travis Williams, who thinks he sees a ghost in John Steinbeck’s childhood home while campaigning to save the public library in Salinas. With touches of magical realism, Buzbee resurrects Steinbeck’s characters and scenes to relate a beautifully told story embued with a love of books and reading.
