Review: I loved every second of this book and it is a real page-turner. This book is full of adventure and has surprising surprises, you also have to solve some clever clues. 

The Shadow Keeper is about a girl called Moll and a boy called Alfie and they have to free Moll’s mum’s soul but will they succeed against the Shadowmasks dark magic? My favourite character is a light-house keeper called Puddle, who is very kind and loving.  

The author describes the setting so clearly that I could see a picture in my mind and know exactly what would be going on. Hannah, age 9

I would give this book 5 golden stars!
