(2) 4-6 Nickel's modest hopes for "a family that looked out for him" are realized after his aunt Starla and her husband, Joe, take him in. When a bullying classmate and his sidekicks harass Nickel, the spirit of Joe's dead horse intervenes, entering the remains of an old bicycle. Griffin builds the ghostly scenario with skill in this ambitious novel with an unusually appealing protagonist.
