A review by aprilbooksandwine
The Shadows: The Books of Elsewhere: Volume 1 by Jacqueline West

4.0

Olive Dunwoody is about to discover the secrets that her house has been keeping in Jacqueline West’s The Shadows, the book which kicks off her The Books Of Elsewhere series. If you enjoy middle grade books or want a series to hand your child, I think that The Shadows would be an awesome place to start. West’s book has a lot to recommend itself: a brave heroine who is just not that into math, magic paintings, talking cats, nosy neighbors, and interesting illustrations by Poly Bernatene.
