From the publisher: “The second season of a TV series is always a little darker. The second book in a series always has a more challenging conflict. The movie sequel is bigger, badder .. you get the idea," Jennifer Wade-Hesse, teacher at Olmsted Academy South. A thicket of reimagined fairy tale fragments, stories, and poems by sixth and seventh graders at Olmsted Academy South. Shadow: a dark area or shape produced by a body coming between rays of light and a surface. May this book be a reminder that where there is shadow, there is light.”
