The Ghost of Shadow Vale
by Jonathan Stroud & Siku (illustrator)
This is a new dyslexia-friendly edition of a retelling of part of Grettir’s Saga (the part with the epic fight between Grettir and Glam) by a multi-award winning and bestselling author. Glam slays the monster of Shadow Vale, but turns into a ghost that haunts the icy valley. Can the famous hero Grettir defeat Glam, and what will be the consequences? A slim volume for reluctant or dyslexic teen readers, or a quick read for anyone wanting a horror fix or for kids who are interested in the old Icelandic sagas and stories like Beowulf. Siku’s dark and dramatic comic-like illustrations complement the story very well.
