I have not read this book or even heard of it until this class. However, when going on my book list for this class with my sister at the beginning of the semester, she told me that she had read it and that the author had also written another book I was familiar with: Running Out of Time. I read Running Out of Time in fifth grade as a class. I remember really enjoying the book so I hope that I have a similar reaction to this book.
I decided to look up this book, since it is the first one that I have not read, and discovered that it is the first in a series of seven about the Shadow Children. And I must admit that the name "Shadow Children" alone gets me kinda excited. It makes the story sound very intriguing and I am anxious to start it! For what I have heard from my sister (and in case I have not stated it before, my sister is a fairly reliable and knowledgeable source when it comes to fantasy novels) the story consists of children who are part of a community that is hidden from the rest of the 'real' world. Sounds like another dystopian novel to me...but never fear, I am starting to think of myself as a fan of this genre. Hopefully this book will reinforce this new found enthusiasm.
