This book is very sad and is based on a mother and son having to leave their home because they are in danger. There is a dog called Shadow who is an important part of the story.

I thought how sad it will be for refugees when the leave their home country and everything and everyone they loved behind.

My favourite character was Aman. He did a lot of things to stay alive and leave his country safely.

I would recommend this book to someone who has never met or thought about a refugee and when they read it they will understand how hard life will be for them.

Good book telling the story of a young Afghan (asylum seeker) boy. He is put in the detention centre for illegally crossing to England with his mother. His best friend’s grandpa decides to visit him oh the behalf for his grandson , he write a article for the newspaper after being touched by his story. They starts a protest.

I would recommend this book to anyone who like happy endings. Also as this book has a bit of sad scenes it is for older readers.

I like the book Shadow by Michael Morpurgo because it tells people about how it feels like to loose everything and it also has a message that if you let something you love go you will love it even more a bit like a moral story. Shadow is also a sad story that people that like comedies might not like but if you don't like a book there's plenty others to choose from. Shadow explains how it is to loose your home and your other friends. I recommend Shadow to people that rarely experience something bad and had lived in the same country all their lives.

The first page made me full of anticipation for this book. It was full twists and turns in the story and sometimes really pulled at my heartstrings. It was an absolute emotional rollercoaster for me. I highly recommend this book to people who enjoy adventure and immersion. Didn't ever want to put it down! Brilliant book!
