Jackaby by William Ritter

This is another Golden Sower nominee for next school year.  It is a good one, also.  It is very "Sherlock Holmes-y."  The story takes place in 1892 in New Fiddleham, New England.  Abigail Rook has just arrived from Europe. She is running away from boring life as a "proper lady" in England.  She is looking for adventure and she finds it when she meets R.F. Jackaby.  Jackaby is an investigator.  Unlike the police, Jackaby can see the supernatural to help him solve crimes.  A killer is on the loose in this story and Jackaby KNOWs it has a supernatural twist.  This is a great mystery.
