Circa's dad was a photo restorer and he had been teaching her how to restore old photos and how to make what he calls "Shopt" photos, pictures that he had altered via photoshop and made up stories about. After he died delivering photos during a storm, a 13 year old boy with amnesia shows up at their house with one of the photos that he had delivered. The boy calls himself Miles and he stays with 11 year old Circa and her mom as they grieve her father's death and the area recovers from the violent storm that has destroyed many lives. While looking at the Shopt photos, Circa becomes convinced that some of the things that her father has put into the photos have become real and perhaps Miles is one of them. The story is sad and funny and touching and I think that kids will really enjoy it. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
