Shadow by Michael Morpurgo


Shadow
by Michael Morpurgo

Could the scrawny and battered Shadow really be the bravest dog in the world?
Shadow tells the story of Aman, a young boy torn apart by the Afghan war.
When Aman meets Shadow, there is now a glimpse of brightness in his life as Shadow sticks by Aman and his mother as they make a break for freedom.  Aman is determined to get his troubled mother to freedom and bring the loyal shadow with him.
Told from numerous different points of views, Shadow is set in modern day time and teaches us to never give up, striving towards a bright future and always keep our head held high, especially in times of doubt and fear.
Shadow keeps you always on the edge of your seat, always wondering what will happen next. Will they be able to escape? What will happen to Shadow? I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a story full of the unexpected surprises, especially dog lovers.
