DESCRIPTION:
Mercedes Ferrer said It was good but it has some flaws. I liked it but some times i would get a little lost of what was happenin like when they're explaining the photography production but all in all it was a very good book but i also disliked the ending i felt that you could have ended the story so many different ways and it was ended like that. But, i found the story line and the plot very interesting.. Harry K said Five Stars. Loved it so much. Great book. ghost story Enjoyed the book and the main characters. Subject matter may be too dark for a sensitive reader. I would not recommend for a younger reader.
It's Horace's job to create images of the girl. Horace Carpetine does not believe in ghosts.Raised to believe in science and reason, Horace Carpetine passes off spirits as superstition. And when the spirit escapes the photographs, Horace discovers he's released a ghost bent on a deadly revenge.. Yet Horace somehow captures the girl's spirit along with her likeness. Then he becomes an apprentice photographer and discovers an eerie—and even dangerous—supernatural power in his very own photographs.When a wealthy lady orders a portrait to place by her daughter's gravesite, Horace's employer, Enoch Middleditch, schemes to sell her more pictures—by convincing her that her daughter's ghost has appeared in the ones he's already taken
“An intriguing ghost story. Details about photographic processes add authenticity, while the book’s somber ending will leave spines tingling.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))“This tale proves that the time-honored ghost story, capably researched, well-paced and fusing the Gothic elements of mystery, madness and romance, can still thrill in the hands of a skilled craftsman.” (Kirkus Reviews)“In perhaps his best work yet, Avi has created a truly chilling tale that will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned and the lights are turned out.” (Children's Literature)
