Shadow

by Michael Morpurgo

In war-torn Afghanistan, Aman finds an unlikely friend in a stray springer spaniel who appears just when he needs her most. He names her Shadow, and she never leaves his side. But as danger closes in, Aman and his loyal companion must flee their homeland in search of safety. With Shadow leading the way, they embark on a journey filled with peril, hope, and the unbreakable bond between a boy and his dog.
