Josie is used to seeing all things curious and strange get sold at her family’s auction house, but a Polaroid camera that prints moving photos of the ghost of their latest client, John Goodrich, is an object begging to be investigated. After a disastrous visit to the Goodrich estate unlocks a powerful curse and raises even more questions, Josie and her brothers must race against the clock to save not only their town from an unknowable but imminent disaster, but her life as well.

What exactly is John Goodrich saying in all of those photographs? How can Josie and her brothers save the town from a disaster they know nothing about? And what does local legend Mothman, based on true folklore, have to do with it? (Garden State Children's Book Awards, 2018)
