With a little help from his friends, the walking dead and spirits from the past he overcomes some bizarre obstacles in order to release Mae from being held captive by a evil foe.
I was delighted to receive this book as Goodreads giveaway! The Author, Stephen Colter, takes us on a journey into the world a boy named Bobby, who is recognizing his abilities as a Shadow Caster. He learns how to harness and control his new abilities in order to save his grandmother Mae from the evil foe.
I received this book free thru Goodreads First Reads. This has to be one of the strangest books I've ever read. At first, I was confused by all the dream sequences alternating with the story line. Once I got into the story, I found it very entertaining, tho toward the end, I thought it was childish. I guess that was due to the paranormal aspect.
