Shadow is a brisk, action-packed middle-grade novel from Max Elliot Anderson, a prolific author known for crafting high-stakes adventures tailored to reluctant readers, especially boys aged 8–12. Drawing from his background in film and video production, Anderson infuses his stories with cinematic flair—think quick cuts, mounting tension, and visual set pieces that make the pages fly by. At around 200 pages, Shadow clocks in as a fast read, blending the timeless "boy and his dog" theme with mystery, danger, and a touch of heart.
Anderson's knack for visual storytelling and emotional payoff makes it a winner for kids craving adventure without the slog. Parents and educators: If you've got a reluctant reader in the house, hand them this—it's proof that books can bark louder than screens.
