In the Shadows by Kiersten White is a breath of fresh air
this year. Told in both text and
illustrations it is a story of untold evil, mixed with a little Faust and
Dorian Gray. The lives of 5 young people
merge when the curse that their family has been involved in finally catches up
to them. You see there is a blood debt
owed by each of their families and until they can figure it out none of them
are safe. With an eerie boarder who won’t
keep is distance, a witch that lives next door who seems oddly nice to be one
of the bad guys, and odd connections this story is sure to keep readers in
suspense. The illustrations tend to be
confusing at first until you realize that they tell the story of one particular
character and that it does not run linear to everything that is being told
through the text.
