They steal portraits of young men from a local college’s daguerreotype collection.

Under Saskia’s guidance, the other girls try the experiment for themselves. Saskia soon shares her revelation with some female classmates. The hitch: she can see him only in her dreams. She is somehow able to visit the man in the daguerreotype: Robert Cornelius, a brilliant young inventor from the nineteenth century. When high schooler Saskia Brown plays around with a vial of liquid mercury, then touches a tattered old daguerreotype, she makes a startling discovery. Publisher Soho Press, August 2021 – a lovely YA mesmerizing story!
