Reviews
Rottman has a history of creating male characters that are dead-on, and Shadow is no exception. His struggle to be recognized as a unique person is something every teenager goes through, and the added stress of his brother's return exacerbates the situation. The unusual plot gives the book its strength and appeal, and the realistic ending adds to its credibility and message., 'Rottman? creates a three-dimensional, introspective protagonist facing difficult circumstances and choices. Shadow's dilemmas and changing perspective are realistically portrayed, as are his vacillating feelings, from resentment to confusion. Particularly notable is Rottman's insightful depiction of family dynamics, which demonstrates the range of responses to crisis. The conclusion, though open-ended, seems hopeful, providing a stepping stone to exploring issues of family loyalty, responsibility, and the legal system?

A thought-provoking novel that highlights the difficulties and rewards of second chances and new beginnings., "...thoughtful and forgiving of the large and small weaknesses of parents and children." -- Kirkus Reviews "Rottman... excels at realistically depicting teens struggling with family issues. Shadow's anger at Daniel rings true; so does his anger at his parents, who have their own difficulties with Daniel's return and with the murder trial that he faces. Shadow tells the tale, and readers will empathize with his struggle to learn to trust again. Daniel's sad story emerges gradually, and readers will eagerly turn the pages to discover what happens next. A quick, compelling read." -- Kliatt "Rottman doesn't cheat on character motivation; there is no specific trauma that caused Daniel to go awry, but there is enough emotional blundering and ham-fistedness on the part of both mother and father to make both boys believable in their portrayals... the book offers a convincing portrayal of a boy coming of age through traumas not of his own making, and it underscores the power of a family to forgive." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Rottman... creates a three-dimensional, introspective protagonist facing difficult circumstances and choices.

Not one word is wasted. Characters are varied, believeable, and their behavior can evoke emotional responses.. The premise is solid and the murder twist is handled with realistic circumstances... Highly recommended." -- Library Media Connection
