Get ready to get lost in the shadows!
Daniel Frost has created a very unique world of shadows where things are the opposite of what they really seem and colors are ones that you have yet to ever lay eyes on before. Grab your flashlight, put on a good pair of shoes and you'll be off on a grand adventure with Chance!
Chance and her parents have just moved to town. As a very observant and sweet little girl, she loves to spend her time at the local bookstore, browsing and petting the store owner's cats as much as she loves to go out and explore her new surroundings.
While trying to get to a cat on a high bookshelf, the cat knocks over some papers that has some mysterious pictures on them. Chance takes them and is determined to find out if these drawings mean anything. She soon discovers that on each of these drawings there is a little door sketched on them. When she discovers that these pictures are actual places around town, she soon finds a hidden door and that's where Chance's real adventures begin.
The story flows at a quick pace and we soon discover many intriguing things in this new world. The descriptive narration is captivating - you will find yourself holding your breath and hoping that Chance will be able to get through this strange world between night and day, and outwit the Shadow King to get to freedom.

A great middle grade book! The heroine is a girl who allows her curiosity to get the better of her and it leads her on an adventure full of fantasy and mystery. All is not as it seems and a witty companion joins her for the ride as she battles her way through the shadows. Very fun and entertaining!
