Shadow (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781911373834)

A modern fairy tale about overcoming our fears and reconnecting with those we love most.

In our old house, Ma told me there was nothing to be scared of. No monsters hiding behind doors, or in wardrobes, or under beds. She said there were no dark places at all. But in the new house, under my new bed, that's where I found Shadow.
