LINDA'S MYSTERY OF THE MONTH FOR KIDS
 PICTURE THE DEAD by Adele Griffin, illustrated by Lisa Brown
Sourcebooks, $14.99 (unsigned first edition). Young adult.
16–year–old Jennie Lovell's life is the very picture of love and loss during a difficult time in U.S. history, the American Civil War. First she is orphaned and loses her twin brother; then she is forced to live at the mercy of her stingy, indifferent relatives. When her fiance dies on the battlefield, he leaves her heartbroken and alone – and with a rumor that he engaged in criminal activities. With the help of a spiritualist photographer, the ghosts of her dead fiance and her twin brother, she begins to uncover secrets about the man she thought she loved; meanwhile, her painstaking collection of notes, photos and letters forms a scrapbook that will help her solve the mystery. Gothic, moody, and mysterious, this novel is an intriguing combination of historical romance, paranormal thriller and clever mystery, with unique drawings originated from real Civil War daguerreotypes that were transformed into eerie mementos for Jennie's scrapbook.
