This forty-seven-page e-book is part of a planned monthly publication of novellas by Kelly Green. This first one, The Shadow, contains ten short chapters. The tale is clever, humorous, suspenseful, supernatural, and fun reading for adults and youngsters.A girl wakens tied up in a van with no memory of past events. She feels that she is seventeen years old.  Two masked men are in the front of the van wearing ski masks. She unties herself, escapes the van, and is taken to a man who she is told is her father, although she doesn't recognize him. She is congratulated for escaping from kidnappers, but hears that her brother had also been kidnapped and hasn't returned. She enters her "father's" house and sees pictures of his daughter, but the pictures do not resemble her. She goes to "her" room where she finds a ghost-like boy who tells her that she is "The Shadow," she was brought to this place and placed in the body of the daughter, and has the mission to solve the daughter's problem.Who was she before she awoke as the daughter? Is she dead? Why was she sent? Who establishes her missions? Does she have a past history of successes? What is the daughter's problem? Where is the daughter's brother? What can she do to solve the daughter's problem when she doesn't know what it is and can't remember her own past?
