Life for Josh isn’t the easiest. He moved into a new school and immediately attracted the wrath of Brenda, an opinionated and quite capable classmate who believes Josh is making up wild stories and passing them off as true. Oh, Josh also has conversations with the corn.

A school fieldtrip to a local retirement home unearths a bit of the town’s

unspoken oral history.

It seems Alice and Henry, two teenagers who lived in Wagston long before Josh, had run away causing embarrassment to their families.

Josh is taken into the confidence of the corn leading him to a meeting with a long-dead Alice. Josh is quickly plunged into danger, intrigue, and adventure as his relationship with his classmates deepens into friendship and respect.

This is my first published chapter book. Now out-of-print. Really bad cover art. The publisher kept saying that guy looked just like me...

I still have a few copies, so if you are really interested, email me.

" In conversational, professional storyteller's cadence. Anderson communicates a wealth of vivid, down home imagery: "genuine imitation Davy Crockett hats," 25 cent movies, Schwinn bicycles, October moons, crawdad fishing next to a graveyard, using string, a safety pin and bacon a favorite bike path through a cornfield that was "like a green hallway" in the summer and a magical place

of "corn ghosts" when the

fog rolled in."
