Hi i am 12 my name is victoria and i am doing an author study on Avi and i picked out 2 book of Avi and the seer of Shadows was one and it is a good book for 12 year old kids to read and i read crispin the cross of the lead that book was ok to me. Buit seer of shadows is really good to read!
In this book, two pre-teens overcome a fear of an apprentice photographer bringing people back into existence. They work together as a team and overcome this dilemma. This book keeps you guessing as far as what you think will happen. It's easy to read and enjoyable.
I picked this book up a few days a go and I loved it. You can see where Eleanora was coming from and feel Horace's frustration and Pegg's pain. Pegg is shown as a strong and smart African-American role model and Horace is a great role model too. Both try to stop Eleanora from killing even though she's getting payback for her abuse and Horace doesn't feel right about helping his greedy, lazy, lying master. Great read for kids who love mysteries.
