On a perfectly normal Tuesday, Max Nelson discovers something truly terrifying: his shadow has quit. With a curt, little note, his shadow vanishes, leaving Max to face the world… and a very strange sock with a golden crown. This isn’t a story about losing something; it’s a story about what you find when you go looking for it. Max’s quest takes him through a series of wild, unbelievable places—a closet that leads to another world, a “Shadow Snack-Off” with bizarre floating food, and a library where books write themselves.
He'll have to face down grumpy top hats, a shadow school filled with bullies, and a series of ridiculous Shadow Games. But as the adventure unfolds, Max realizes his shadow isn’t just a copy of him. It’s an individual with its own ideas, and maybe, just maybe, it's not a follower at all. Get ready for a laugh-out-loud adventure that proves friendship is a two-way street, even if you’re made of darkness.
