(2) 4-6 Fourteen-year-old Horace, apprentice to photographer Enoch Middleditch, becomes engaged in spiritualist fleecing. Short chapters with tantalizing cliffhangers heighten the story's suspense, which comes to a head when Horace's photographs unleash a vengeful ghost. Set in post–Civil War New York, this dandy mystery re-creates and stays within its historical period while also introducing characters confronting timeless questions of personal honor.
