Our shadows are exactly the type of thing we take for granted, and for Barry and Pearson to introduce a character who is capable of stealing people's shadows - *shudder* I admit, Lord Ombra has entered into my nightmare hall of fame. He seems like a character straight out of a particularly horrifying Doctor Who episode. I don't know about you, but I think an adventure book is only as good as the antagonist, and Lord Ombra is a definite win. ![]() Named Lord Ombra, he can steal the shadow of anyone, and he wants the magical starstuff to make him all-powerful. ![]() There are dangerous parts that made me hold my breath (especially with Jim Dale's narration!) and completely immerse myself in the story with the characters and root for their victoryĪs with any fantastic children's novel, Peter and the Shadow Thieves has a terrifying bad guy. It has all the right elements of mystery, suspense, humor, and simple, good fun. Peter and the Shadow Thieves is the sort of book that made me fall in love with reading. Show More with the story can follow, and those who do know the story can be amused by references to what Peter will eventually become.Īside from the history behind the characters, this is an entertaining and delightful children's novel. ![]()
