Seer of Shadows/ Avi / 202 p. / 2010 - 2011 Mark Twain Nominee

In New York City in 1872, fourteen-year-old Horace, a photographer's apprentice, becomes entangled in a plot to create fraudulent spirit photographs, but when Horace accidentally frees the real ghost of a dead girl bent on revenge, his life takes a frightening turn.

Kids will really like the ghost story aspect, but even though I liked reading about how photographs were processed in the 1800's those parts of the story were a bit slow and tedious.
