As i read the first few pages of this book, i could definatley tell it was going to be great, and, it was! Tears filled my eyes whiles reading this book, especcially when the grandma dies. Shadow was my favourite character because she was a clever, kind and brave dog. I would personally love a dog like shadow! I would highley reccomend this book to anyone who enjoys a book that brings a tear to the eye. BRILLIANT!!!

Shadow is a realistic tale by Michael Morpurgo. In this story a young boy called Aman who lives with his mother is forced out of his home by terrorists and a raging war. Aman then has to travel to England for safety .
Don’t let front cover with the dogs face on deceive you – this book is not about a dog but the dog does play an important role.
Shadow is a lovely book to read, and although it looks thick it’s actually a very quick read.
Although it was a good book i feel it lacked emotion. It’s a very sad story and throughout the book you feel like you should by crying but you can’t.
All the sad bits were too subtle, I think Michael needs to shove the emotion in our faces so we notice it more!
Overall i thought this was a great story but with a lot of room for improvement. I give this book 4 stars.
