In "The Seer of Shadows" by Avi, set in 19th-century New York City, young Horace Carpetine is an apprentice to a photographer who dabbles in the supernatural. When he encounters a haunted portrait of a girl named Eleanora, he becomes embroiled in a chilling mystery involving her tragic past and ghostly presence. As Horace uncovers the truth behind the haunting, he learns about courage, friendship, and the thin line between the living and the dead. The story intertwines themes of fear, responsibility, and the power of seeing beyond the surface, ultimately leading Horace to confront his own beliefs about life and death.
