  15. I loved this book. It is about ghosts so if you enjoy scary stories this book would be great for you. This book is about a boy named Horace Carpetine. He thinks that ghosts are not real and the whole thing about them is silly. Horace works at a photograph shop. Later he becomes a photograph painter him self. One day a lady comes and says she wants a painting to put by her daughters grave site. Then Horaces employer tells the lady they have seen her daughter in the pictures they already gave her. Then Horace has to make pictures of the girl. Then it gets really scary Horace accidentally lets the ghost go. Read this book and find out what happens.
