An inspiring well written story for children and adults.

Racing a Ghost Ship is an excellent book for children ages 9-16. Adults will also enjoy this inspiring story of a man with severe asthma who planned a sailing adventure that would demonstrate to children and adults that challenges should not stand in the way of dreams. This story is well written and illustrated with large full page color photos. A great book for families and classrooms.
