“Winner of the Nestle 10-12 year olds prize.
This author also does adult fiction too.
Good read and in places hard hitting, death, murder and then back to easy for 11 year olds.
Orphan siblings have to stay with distant Aunt in Norway. You guessed it she lives on the edge of The Shadow Forest, where the evil ruler is stealing everyone’s shadows. I liked it.

“This came with high critical acclaim, typical of the critics to rave about a book which is a nightmare to read.
Lots of Yiddish words and a plodding plot.

“An interesting book but I’m not sure what the point is.
Our protagonist has lost his way and cuts himself off from the world, but when he has a heart scare and needs help things begin to change.
Ultimately a feel good book which failed to work on me.
