Book Description

A Civil War legend, an enchanted lock of hair, and a black cat named Beelzebub convince three youngsters on a class tour of the South Carolina State House to risk a ghost hunt. The hunt turns into a fun-filled adventure when the kids secretly identify, locate and exorcise the ghost.
Ghost in the Capitol combines intrigue with historical fact to present to young readers a mystery steeped in South Carolina traditions. The architecture and construction of the State House, historical monuments to the state's heroes and statesmen, and the burning of Columbia are but a few of the historical details intertwined with the mystery plot of the new juvenile work
