Age/Grade Level: Grades 5 and up
Real feeling characters in a vivid historical setting. Well set up, but ending feels a bit contrived when he marries the black girl and there is a fear of photographing their possibly dying child. Other than that, would recommend it as a ghost story for older elementary.
