Summary: In 1872 New York City, 14-year old Horace takes an apprenticeship with Enoch Middleditch, a society photographer. While Horace is excited to learn photography and take his own pictures, Middleditch is excited to make money through the clever deception of a wealthy client named Mrs. Von Macht, who is mourning the death of her daughter, Eleanora. Middeditch plans to superimpose a photo of Eleanora onto the portrait of Mrs. Von Macht, thereby startling her into an emotional buying spree for more photos. But the photos have called forth more than memory; they have actually called forth the ghost of Eleanora, who is set on deathly revenge. With the help of Pegg, the Von Macht's servant girl, Horace learns the truth about Eleanora's unnatural death, who she really was, and about his own supernatural part in unleashing the angry ghost.

Comment: This book is a little slow in the beginning but speeds up in the middle. If anyone likes supernatural books with ghost's and vampires and werewolves, this is the book for you. I would recommend this book more to girls because this book is based on a girl and some of the book is talking about her personal life. And I wouldn't think that boys would like that. ~soccerdude1123 Raffle tickets go to Canobie Lake Park passes.
