Shadow by Michael Morpurgo


Looking for something enjoyable to read for our Summer Reading Club?
This story will take you on the treacherous journey of young Afghan refugee, Aman, and his mother. They are accompanied part of the way by a stray dog, who we eventually learn is actually a highly credentialed K9!

Aman and his mother face great tragedy and sadness on their journey but also experience the joy of true friendship and compassion. This moving and uplifting story, told by three different people, tells of the many challenges faced by refugees and asylum seekers. The story of Shadow is accompanied by illustrations to appeal to the young reader.
