The photos show a boy who looks totally see-through. And in some, he’s in a coffin.That’s not so odd for Ree, who lives above a funeral home. But when Colin and Nevaeh start investigating, they discover other sightings of the boy–and other secrets Ree is hiding.The more clues they find, the more they realize this mystery goes back to a time called the Great Depression. Will history, once again, help them solve the case?
