What if your shadow had a mind of its own?
Maeve loved the quiet city dusk, when streetlamps flickered to life and stretched shadows long across the stone pavements. But one night, something impossible happened. Her shadow waved at her while she stood perfectly still. Then it pointed. Then it beckoned her toward a dark misty alleyway she had never noticed before.
Curiosity stronger than fear, Maeve followed.
At the dead end of the alley, her shadow lifted a loose stone from the ground, revealing a spiral staircase of dark polished basalt winding down into a warm, glowing world far beneath the city streets. A world no map had ever shown. A world where shadows live, move, and carry secrets older than the city itself.
The Girl With a Runaway Shadow is a breathtaking fantasy adventure for children aged 7 to 12, full of mystery, magic, glowing underground worlds, and one ordinary girl with extraordinary courage.
Perfect for young readers who love magical adventures, mysterious hidden worlds, and unforgettable characters that stay with them long after the very last page.
A wonderful gift for curious kids, classroom libraries, and every child who has ever looked at their shadow and wondered.
