I have a great book that I read this year! This book has a mixture of emotions. At some points it is very depressing , and sometimes it is very touching. This is one of those books that keeps you on your seat wanting to read more. This book is Shadow by Michael Morpurgo. This is a realistic fiction book. My personal rate about this book is a 4 out of 5.
Mainly this book is about a boy and his mother trying to find a happy place where they can be free. There is a dog that is guiding them through their troubles and disappointments. They have to go on a very long journey to their uncles house by foot so they are safe from gards. Something very bad happened after that but you will have to read to find out.
I recommend this book for many reasons. One, Shadow is very engaging. Two, it is not very long so you will not have to abandon the book. Three, it can be for a fourth to fifth grade reader because there is some high vocabulary but not to much. Finally, it is just a great book!!!
