The Seer of Shadows

The Seer of Shadows

Author: Avi
Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
Reviewer: Christi




Summary: In 1872 New York, a 14-year-old boy becomes an apprentice to a photographer. When a rich lady dressed in black comes in to ask them to try and take a spirit photo of her recently deceased daughter, things start to happen. The photographer decides to create a ghost photo for his client while his apprentice is seeing the real thing. With the help of the maid girl will they be able to stop this ghost from trying to murder?

Review: I would recommend this book to kids 5th grade and up who like to get scared. When Horace (the apprentice) takes his first picture he can’t believe he’s captured a ghost in it. Eventually he realizes the more pictures he takes the more the ghost is made real. The ghost in this book (Elenora) is angry that she was murdered (starved to death) and she wants revenge. I found this book a little creepy, but that’s probably what the kids will like about it.
