I liked that the main character, Chase, was interested in preserving the environment while still being sympathetic to her dad's plight of needing a job. I thought Ghost Park also had a great message about how important it can be to let go of the hurts of the past in order to get on with living life.

Another piece in the collection is a non-fiction account of a British farmer finding a legendary haul of ancient Roman treasure. The book was first published in London in by Jonathan Cape. This is a first-person fiction piece of medium-length writing. The narrator, on advice from friends, decides to vacation in Jamaica. One night, a sea turtle , ancient and huge, is caught by a group of fishermen. Rich people want to buy it, while the manager of a nearby hotel wants to make turtle soup ;and eat him but both plans are foiled when a little boy and his parents appear, and the child screams at the people, calling them "horrible and cruel".
His parents reveal that the boy loves animals deeply, and even talks to them. His father pays off the fisherfolk and hotel manager, and the turtle is set free. The next day, the boy is missing, and the fisherfolk reveal that they have seen the child riding on the back of the sea turtle into the distance.

They engage in conversation, revealing the man's Cockney accent and attitudes. As they talk, the narrator is urged by the hitchhiker to test the car's engine power by going ever faster. This results in a police motorbike pulling them over for speeding. The police officer who writes the ticket acts particularly cruel, threatening the narrator with a long prison sentence and a huge fine.
The narrator is despondent until his new friend challenges the narrator to guess his true profession. As he does, the hitchhiker suddenly reveals various items from the narrator's person, from a wallet to a watch to the narrator's shoelace. The narrator accuses the hitchhiker of being a pickpocket. The hitchhiker disagrees, claiming that he is a "fingersmith" — just as a goldsmith has mastered gold, he has mastered the use of his fingers. He claims that he is never caught "due to his amazin finger".
He then reveals that he has stolen both the police officer's notebooks, which contain the tickets and details against them. Relieved, the narrator and the hitchhiker then stop on the highway to light a bonfire of the notebooks. This is a non-fiction account of a labourer named Gordon Butcher who uncovered a large quantity of Roman treasure , the Mildenhall Treasure , in a field that he was ploughing for a farmer when he found pure silver and another man tried to deceive him into thinking it was worth nothing.
