Shadow Creatures

'A triumph. Vick is a masterful storyteller. This beautifully written story should whet readers’ appetites... Given that the Second World War is no longer a compulsory part of the primary school curriculum, such books are all the more to be cherished.' * The Telegraph * I loved it. The story, the style, the history, the depth of meaning and feeling: it’s all there. More than a historical novel. -- Tom Palmer, author A heart in your mouth adventure, perfectly crafted by a brilliant writer. -- Natasha Farrant, author Lyrical, yet hard-hitting and packed with fascinating historical facts, Shadow Creatures by Chris Vick is storytelling at its very best... [it] will be a brilliant empathy-building addition to the World War Two classroom canon -- Tia Fisher A cracking read * World's Smallest Library * A powerful and illuminating historical novel... An ideal novel to share with KS3 students with a keen interest in history, providing rich opportunities for wider research and exploration * Just Imagine * Written for age 9+, Shadow Creatures is best suited to slightly older children (Key Stage 3) with stamina to tackle a more challenging, weighty story. * Scope For Imagination * Chris Vick writes with such power and I have yet to read one of his books without an emotional reaction. This would be a brilliant read aloud for a class studying WWII * My Shelves Are Full *
