Shadow by Michael Morpurgo is (tbd). The book tells the touching, heartfelt story of a boy called Aman and his mother who lived in Afghanistan and tells the reader the struggles they went through to get to England. On the way to England, they are accompanied by a courageous friend, who is an English Springer spaniel. Just as they make it into England, they are taken to prison, where they will be sent back to Afghanistan.
Will they be saved? Will Aman and his mother be forced back to Afghanistan, or will they find a way to get back to England? Read the book to find out!
I would rate Shadow a 7 out of 10. I would rate it a 7 because it was a sad, heart-wrenching story that was perfectly written. My only complaint is that it could have been clearer with some of the terms. I thought it was a great book and highly suggest reading Shadow!
