The Last Apprentice Series by Joseph Delaney
The first book in the series, Revenge of the Witch, introduces Thomas Ward. Tom is a 13 year old seventh son of a seventh son. That makes him sensitive to supernatural stuff. At thirteen, he is apprenticed to an employer to learn a trade. One brother stayed home to run the farm and the others went to learn a trade like blacksmith or masonry. Thomas becomes apprentice to the local Spook. The Spook is the person in the county who deals with the supernatural--witches, ghosts, boggarts and worse. Tom enters his apprenticeship and after several weeks of training, Mr Gregory, the Spook, is away and business and Tom must face a dangerous boggart on his own. It was just such a creature that killed the last Spook's apprentice!
