Shadowsmith
Ross MacKenzie
‘Are you brave?’
When the mysterious Amelia Pigeon turns up at Kirby’s bedroom window in the dead of night, this is the question she asks him — right before they tumble into a world of ancient malevolent spirits who have torn their way into Kirby’s quiet seaside village.
Kirby isn’t feeling brave at all. His mother is in a coma following a freak (or was it?) accident, and he’s hardly talking to his dad. He’s convinced a spider is spying on him, and now a weird girl in a yellow raincoat — who claims to be a powerful, evil-banishing Shadowsmith — is dragging him into unknown danger. How brave is he really?
Ross MacKenzie, author of award-winning The Nowhere Emporium, weaves a world of magic and adventure which twists and turns magnificently, and keeps thrilled young readers guessing right to the end.

This is an absolutely incredible tale about two children who fight in mystical battles and go on sneaky adventures! I recommend it to anyone who likes a happy ending and loads of plot twists.

Its an audio fiction book. I recommend this book to 9 and over because it is scary in some parts so under 9 should not watch or read this unless they are not scared of spiders. However, I liked the book because it was a mystery story.

Good but slightly confusing. Loved the plot twist.

From the same author of the nowhere emporium, this book is jaw droppingly thrilling. My favourite character is Amelia Pigeon because she is so absurd yet wise. Read it, you’ll love it!
