Enter an exciting new world of shadows from Hugo Award nominee Adam-Troy Castro. Meet Gustav Gloom.

Fernie What finds herself lost in the Gloom mansion after her cat appears to have been chased there by its own shadow. Fernie discovers a library full of every book that was never written, a gallery of statues that are just plain awkward, and finds herself at dinner watching her own shadow take part in the feast!

Along the way Fernie is chased by the People Taker who is determined to take her to the Shadow Country. It's up to Fernie and Gustav to stop the People Taker before he takes Fernie's family.

this book is an absolute gem with hilariously whimsical prose, great pacing, lovable characters, and a fascinating world. I'm an adult and listened for my enjoyment, and I'm not a fan of children's books. there are genuinely tense moments and a lot of unpredictability in the story that I'm sure will enchant tweens too.
