Summary

Being a ghost isn't easy. . . even if you have a Ph.D. in haunting! Henry Hamilton is a Civil War ghost with a dream of traveling in outer space. Little does he know when he stows away on the space shuttle as the first ghost in outer space that keeping incognito isn't as easy as it is on earth. Vowing not to do any haunting while on vacation (he isn't licensed to haunt in space), Henry quickly learns that haunting, for a ghost, is second nature, and that if he is not going to scare the crew of the shuttle into returning home early, he must quickly adapt to the difficulties of life in orbit. But for Henry, to remain inconspicuous is a full-time task, and what he really wants to do on this trip is learn about space and how it affects ghosts in particular. And for a ghost with a love for food, it becomes next to impossible to keep the crew from becoming suspicious of the mysterious occurrences on board the Spirit of America. A truly exciting adventure, Henry Hamilton in Outer Space gives children a real feel for what it's like to be aboard the space shuttle.Marilyn Redmond is also the author of Henry Hamilton: Graduate Ghost, an ABC TV "Children's Special."

But that is not all that happens as they visit the Indian cemetery.The mysterious white man wandering among the Indian grave houses, his hiding behind the medicine man's grave house and sudden departure in a motorboat, the sound of a hammer and saw as the boys pass the graveyard after dark, the open grave, all make Poetry and Bill Collins terrifically suspicious that the big kidnapper mystery is about to be solved.The followers of the Sugar Creek Gang in their North woods adventures will be thrilled by the way the boys tackle and capture their "fish" — hook, line, and sinker.
