What to expect
WINNER 1996 Texas Lone Star Reading List
For fans of Gillian Flynn, Caroline Cooney, and R.L. Stine comes Shadowmaker from four-time Edgar Allen Poe Young Adult Mystery Award winner Joan Lowery Nixon.
When Katie Gillian and her mother move from Houston to a small Texas town, they never imagine that violence and intrigue will interrupt their six-month stay. Could the two bodies found have anything to do with the newspaper articles Katie’s reporter mother is writing—or with the shadowy figures Katie has noticed lurking outside her house at night?
“Strong female characters[,] … affecting and fast-paced, this mystery delivers.”—Publishers Weekly
“Nixon deftly weaves the ordinary difficulties of a new kid in school into a suspenseful mystery … [and her] characters are interestingly complicated.”—Booklist
“[A] smoothly knit novel.”—Kirkus Reviews
