Finally, a new female heroine to match the likes of sleuths like Nancy Drew. However, our junior detective, Abby Grace, is not like any normal girl. She's a Shadow. Is she dead? Is she a ghost? We have yet to find out. Regardless, our young heroine has been assigned a special assignment. It seems her soul is "borrowed" by people who are in desperate need of help and guidance, and in the first book of the episodic novella series, Abby takes on the persona of a young girl in need of help after being kidnapped. As the story unfolds and Abby deduces who is friend and foe, we learn that not all is as it seems. Still, Abby follows through on her assignment, even putting her own self in danger to find the answers that the girl who borrowed her seeks, as well as finding answers of her own.This YA series is destined to draw the attention of many young readers who like action, detective, paranormal joints. At roughly 20,000 words, it is a quick, easy read that will keep young minds enthralled. Thumbs up for Abby Grace. Now, I must run and start reading the next none.
