Fans of Coraline, Doll Bones and The Night Gardener will devour
this award winning dark fantasy about twelve-year-old Emmeline who is
desperate to save the only friend she has ... her own shadow. But what
happens when her shadow starts craving a life of its own?
A Texas Bluebonnet Nominee
Emmeline's gift to control and manipulate shadows makes her the subject
of mockery...and fear. Forbidden to leave home by her parents,
Emmeline's closest confidant is her own shadow, Dar. When a noble
stranger visits and offers her parents a cure, Emmeline is terrified of
losing her power--and her only friend. So Dar proposes a deal: she will
change the noble's mind if Emmeline will help her become flesh.
When the man ends up in a coma, Emmeline is stunned--and blamed. Now
forced to flee, her only hope of clearing her name is to find a way to
give the shadow she's no longer sure she can trust what it craves--life.
With the gripping feel of a new classic, award winning Shadow Weaver
will enthrall middle school readers who love fantasy, magic, and danger.
Perfect for 5th grade and above.
