Shadow is a war novel by Michael Morpurgo. The book takes place in Afghanistan during the US invasion and is about a young boy named Aman who fled with his mother to a cave during the invasion. During this time a Springer Spaniel dog comes to them, Aman adopts the dog and names it shadow. The story follows the inseparable relationship between Aman and Shadow, in the time of war and difficulty. This was a very emotional story because of the relationship Aman had with the dog and how they struggled to cope with the difficult times of war, and their journey towards freedom. I would recommend his book to high school students who are interested in dramatic war stories.
