This book is such a great read! It is set in 1860 and is about a father and son...and a ghost. 12-year-old Silas has had a ghost friend called Mittenwool since his mother died shortly after Silas was born. One day, a gang comes and takes the father away. Shortly after he leaves, a pony from the gang comes back to the ranch. Silas takes it as a sign that He needs to go and look for his father. Mittenwool goes along as well. As he gets to the woods he is very afraid but meets a sheriff who helps him track the gang to a cave. A situation happens and so he goes for help and lots of action ensues. Lots of action!
This is a book that features photography technology of the time. The father is a brilliant man who has invented a clever way of creating photography which is a front runner in our current photo development. Money counterfeiting is the criminal activity that the gang is operating.
There are some creepy parts to this story, some violence and death as well. But it is also heartwarming and uplifting. The writing is incredible and you will want to savor this book. I would class this book as upper elementary up to young adult. I think many adults will love this book as well.
