Recommendation of the week – the book is one you will see in the Library when it opens and is also available on Borrow Box  from North Ayrshire Libraries. For more information see their website.

This week’s recommendation is Shadow by Michael Morpurgo. When Shadow, a bomb-sniffing spaniel, goes missing in the middle of wartorn Afghanistan, his soldier-owner is devastated. Meanwhile, Shadow makes friends with a local Afghan boy, and sees a whole other side of the war. As Christmas draws ever closer, will Shadow and his trainer ever be reunited? A story of war and a dog’s relationship with humans.

A touching story for those who enjoy Michael Morpurgo, war stories or stories featuring animals.
