Picture the Dead

Picture the Dead is by Adele Griffin. This creepy tale is set during the Civil War. Will, his twin brother Quinn, and Jennie's brother Toby go off to fight for the Union. Will is also Jennie's fiancee. When Quinn returns home injured, Jennie discovers both Will and her brother have been killed. Quinn says Will was killed in battle, but was he? Jennie begins to experience strange happenings she believes are caused by Will's restless spirit. Is there something he wants Jennie to do? Can she solve the mystery of Will's death? Or is Will trying to save her life? This is a great mystery and is sufficiently creepy to charm both boys and girls. 

Ratings: 6th grade - 10 out of 10.
