BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS – OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
12yo Jamal has a problem: his twin brother, Malik. Malik is outgoing, popular, and talented. Jamal feels invisible next to him. When their grandmother passes away and leaves Malik a trumpet and Jamal an old skull necklace, it’s the last straw. Jamal makes a deal with a mysterious Dr. Facilier so he will never be in Malik’s shadow again. Jamal gets his wish, but with horrifying consequences.
Can anyone say, “stranger danger?” The endings in these Disney books are jarring for me because I always like the good to triumph over evil. But hey, these are villain books. Jamal is relatable and the shadow man is creepy, so if you want a fast read and you have sibling issues, read on.
