Cast No Shadow

Cast No Shadow

By Nick Trapalansky and Anissa Espinosa

This book was adorable! The story focuses on Greg, a teen who never had a shadow. He was a loner with only one real friend: Layla. One day they decide to go to an old abandoned mansion to explore (cause every small town has one). There, Greg happens upon a ghost named Eleanor, and they fall in madly love. Unfortunately meddling with ghosts has some bad side affects, mainly Greg's shadow getting loose and causing havoc. The plot is really silly and cheesy but I loved it to death (get it?).

I really liked this book. The characters are decent, and interact well with each other very well, even if they don't have the most complex motives or traits. The art is simple, but it works for the story. The character art is great, with their designs reflecting their characters. The plot gets really silly, but it works well enough. This book put its pieces together very well, and I enjoyed it.

TL;DR: 7/10
