The Ghost Who Was Always Late

By Dianna Aubin

Clara Bennett expected a normal school trip to the museum; quiet halls, old artifacts, and maybe a little boredom.

She didn't expect to meet a ghost.

When a nervous boy named Nathaniel Carter appears, insisting he's late for the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Clara knows something isn't right. History says the signing already happened... so why is Nathaniel still trying to get there?

As Clara is pulled into the past, she and Nathaniel must travel the same road again and again, facing wrong turns, dangerous storms, and choices that seem small; but change everything. With each attempt, the mystery deepens: What was Nathaniel supposed to deliver? Why did he never arrive? And can one boy's mistake really change history?

To set things right, Clara must help Nathaniel discover the truth; not just about the message he carried, but about the part he played in a moment that shaped a nation.

Because sometimes... being late isn't the problem.

Perfect for readers ages 9-12, The Ghost Who Was Always Late is a heartwarming time-slip adventure about courage, choices, and finding your place in history; even if it takes a second chance.
