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.
