picture the dead

by adele griffin and Lisa Brown

Jennie Lovell’s life is the very picture of love and loss. First she is orphaned and forced to live at the mercy of her stingy, indifferent relatives. Then her fiancé falls on the battlefield, leaving her heartbroken and alone. Jennie struggles to pick up the pieces of her shattered life, but is haunted by a mysterious figure that refuses to let her bury the past.

Against the brutal, vivid backdrop of the American Civil War, Adele Griffin and Lisa Brown have created a spellbinding mystery where the living cannot always be trusted and death is not always the end.

“Open Picture the Dead and step into the rich, nineteenth-century scrapbook filled with ghosts, betrayals, murder, and love. A haunting work, beautifully told.” Brian Selznick, award-winning author and illustrator of The Invention of Hugo Cabret
