"This dog is not like other dogs. She is more like a friend than a dog, a friendly shadow that does not want to leave us. You never lose your shadow."
Never have Aman and his mother needed a friend more than when a Springer Spaniel appears in the mouth of their Afghan cave. Nursed back to health by Aman, the dog becomes more than a companion, a shadow, and thats what Aman decides to call her.
But life in Afghanistan becomes more dangerous by the moment. Eventually, Aman, his mother and Shadow find the courage to leave. But how far can Shadow lead them? And in this terrifying new world, is anywhere really safe ...?
My Thoughts:
I knew from the 1st time I read this, that it would be my favourite book. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry. It makes me feel guilty about what we have but take for granted. I think we need more books like Shadow in the world and more dogs like her too! I rate it 10/10 and I recommend it age 10+
See ya next time
