    About this ebook

    There are those who do not pay much attention to the shadows, after all, they are just harmless silhouettes that bodies project. But Elia grandmother doesn’t think the same. She claims that they are alive and use as shields from the light in a desperate act of affirmation. Even if we ignore them, we can’t do without them. You will wonder if they can influence people. Think about it, because they are here intentionally: they follow us, surround us, move among us without us even realizing it and they watch everything we do.

    A novel where reality and fantasy are so intimately joined that is almost impossible to separate them.

    “Without a doubt, where it shows the most quality is the imaginative plot, design to keep the attention of the young reader through mystery and intrigue. The story, which even saves an unexpected surprise at the end, is told in a flashback style, a few years later, by the main character”. (Bibliópolis)
