Shadow Weaver by MarcyKate Connolly

3.0

‘To most people, shadows are things that remain stuck to walls and floors, but for me, they become whatever I wish-tacky, like clay, or as thin as smoke. I can mold them all to my will.’

Emmeline can control and manipulate the shadows that are around her. Her friends and family do not understand her powers and are afraid of her. She will meet others that are like her and she learns how to trust and form strong bonds of friendship.

I felt like the story was slow going. The main characters fickle childlike decisions bothered me...but I guess since she is a child that is to be expected. Though the same fickle decision making came from the adults in the story also. The adults in the story could have been more well rounded.

The plot points were a bit predictable but I bet a younger audience would eat this up since they are the intended audience.
