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.
“Lockwood & Co is set in a world where ghosts are real and they walk among us. Hauntings are becoming daily more dangerous—and deadly. Only children can see ghosts, so children become the most important people in this world.” Read more...
