A clairvoyant teen orphan is relocated to India where kidnappings, enemy spies, and terrorist plots of a world at war all challenge her extraordinary powers. It's 1914. Sixteen year old Sophie Pritchard, orphaned two years earlier by a famous sea disaster, is about to begin a new life in the unfamiliar world of British India. For Sophie, still devastated by her parent's death, India proves a dangerously unsettling environment. Are her terrifying experiences in Kali's temple and the Park Street cemetery hallucinations, or has she somehow been drawn back through the centuries as a witness to dark places in Calcutta's past? Sophie it seems has become an unwilling traveler in a timeless zone where past, present and future co-exist. Kidnapping, enemy spies, and terrorist plots all play their part against the background of a world at war and growing unrest in the Indian subcontinent. Soon Sophie's powers of precognition will be called upon to help thwart a conspiracy that could incite a bloodbath in Calcutta, and deliver India into enemy hands. "Sophie, in Shadow deftly weaves intrigue, spies, and mystics with more than a dash of the occult into a story that will captivate any reader."  - Linda DeMeulemeester… (mere)

Sophie, in Shadow is the sequel to [WildTalent], and sees a young woman lose her parents to the sinking of the Titanic, barely escaping with her own life. She is sent to Calcutta to stay with her older cousin, Jeannie Guthrie, the protagonist of Wild Talent, now older and with a child of her own a few years younger than Sophie. The novel follows Sophie as she grapples with her grief over the loss of her parents and with episodes of frightening dreams and visions.

The book takes place at a time when the Raj, the English occupation of India, is drawing to its end, and both danger and new understandings come Sophie's way.

Sophie, in Shadow is a worthy sequel to Wild Talent. The settings, both of Calcutta and of the monastic hermitage of Alexandra David-Neel, adventurer turned student of Tibetan Buddhism, where Sophie retreats for much of one season. There is excitement but also believable characters I came to care about. I read this book every chance I had till, regrettably, it was done. Kernaghan does not disappoint. ( )
