Book Synopsis
Ferris meets Ghosts of Tupelo Landing in this cozy ghost story about family, environmental activism, food, and friendship.
Basil Theriot has spent her entire life in New Orleans--in her family's famed Cajun restaurant in the French Quarter, really--but she's never been out to the bayou where her grandfather grew up. She's also never seen a ghost, even though dozens of ghost tours pass by the restaurant every day and her best friend Tommy is determined to be a ghost hunter.
But then Grandpere's ghost appears. And he has a mission for her.
Basil wouldn't mind being haunted if Grandpere could be helpful and share his secret recipe that might save the restaurant. But instead, he's intent on connecting Basil with her Cajun heritage. He sends her out to the bayou to meet his friends: an airboat captain, a shrimper, and a scientist rebuilding Louisiana's fast-disappearing coastline.
For fans of Gracie Under the Waves and A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall, Grandpere's Ghost Swamp has a little bit of everything: a pinch of spookiness, a dash of environmental activism, and a heaping of family.
Review Quotes
"Grandpere's Ghost Swamp is more than a book. It's an experience. I could smell the fish market, taste the mirlitons, feel the bayou air, and hear the Zydeco music in the French Quarter." - M.R. Fournet, author of Brick Dust and Bones
"A lovely, cozy read that proves Rachel M. Marsh has 'the gift.'" - Marti Dumas, author of Secret Society of Rebel Girls
