The Seer of Shadows

The Seer of Shadows by AVI is a great, suspenseful book. It is full of horrible things that couldn't come true, or could they? This book is about lots of people, like Horace Carpentine.

The setting of this book is 1872, in New York, and Horace Carpentine is Mr. Middleditch's apprentice. They work at a famous photography studio. When a woman comes in and asks for a photograph of herself to put in her dead daughter, Eleanora's tomb to comfort the dead. Mr. Middleditch thinks it would be funny if he had Horace take a picture of a picture of Eleanora in the woman's house to scare her into thinking Eleanora is a ghost in her photograph. But could Horace actually bring Eleanora back into the world with just a photograph?

This book is scary. It is a wonderful book that is great for children and adults. Children under the age of 10 may be scared. If you get scared easily don't read this book, but other than that it is a great book.
