When Galactic Shade Griffin moves with her mom into her new town, she heads to school with dread. As usual, from her unusual name, to her unorthodox Mother, the kids at her school can smell out a kid that doesn't fit in.
However, after a rocky start, Shade, as she becomes known as, meets Annie Green, and George Knight who run the school newspaper and online forum. Together, they become fast friends.
Something odd is happening in Shade's house, an unseen prescence is making itself known. It turns out that her bedroom in the turret of the Victorian house has had a long time resident. Brandon, who died there, introduces himself in a scary way.
Shade, the book, is engaging, heart pounding and addresses serious issues that face today's young adults. Suicide, self-harm, substance abuse and sexual abuse are issues handled with great care.
Ultimately, Shade, and her newspaper friends are faced with solving the puzzle of a series of missing girls and some very dark secrets. Marilyn Peake manages to keep her story balanced between the humourous stuff of a teenagers daily life and the shady undercurrent of the town's secret.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Shade, actually, I couldn't put it down! I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Marilyn Peake is highly entertaining, I recommend this to anyone.… (altro)
