In a time of kings, queens, and conspiracy, it’s impossible to know whom one can trust. . . .

REVIEWS

School Library Journal: “Fans of fairy-tale retellings like Robin McKinley’s Beauty (1978) and Gail Carson Levine’s Ella Enchanted (1997, both HarperCollins) will enjoy this tale’s slightly more mature mix of fantasy and adventure with a touch of romance.“

Booklist: “Action, romance, and interesting supernatural elements enliven this historical fantasy with a strong female protagonist.”

Kirkus Reviews: “[An] understatedly meaningful almost-fairy tale.”

The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (BCCB): “Shadow, though not immediately likable, makes for a complex and sometimes interestingly unreliable narrator, and her quest for an identity independent of those people that have essentially manipulated her—for better or worse—gains additional allure and complication with her newly discovered powers. A nuanced coming of age story with a fairy-tale setting, this is sure to please fans of Shannon Hale’s Books of Bayern series.”

Kidzworld: “Best of all, it combines magic, tragedy, revelations and, of course, love. You won’t be able to put this book down.”

Library Lounge Lizard, Student Review by Leanne, 7th grade: “Shadow by Jenny Moss is a definite page-turner! With either action or romance at every turn, I can see anybody who picks this book up speeding right through it!”

Fantastic Book Review: “Moss crafted a thrilling and suspenseful story full of mystery and secrets at every turn.”

Brattleboro, Vermont Reformer: “I would recommend SHADOW to anyone who likes a good adventure with lots of cliffhangers!”
