Face The Shadows - Softcover

"Watch the shadows kid, because I'll be there, waiting until I can get back what's mine!" Until recently Robbie Thom's great goal had been to save enough for the latest Kodak camera. And until recently his biggest problems had been patched clothes, no shoes... and Stewart Dumble! The trouble was he was bigger, and you needed guts to deal with him, and guts was not one of Robbie's strengths. Then one terrible night everything changed. Now he was hiding a guilty secret. What was the man in the shadows looking for? Now Robbie's greatest focus was watching and waiting for him to return, and wondering if he could protect his family from him.

Brought up in the countryside, with the freedom and adventures city children miss out on, Robert MacKinlay writes of these these things in his stories for teenagers. He weaves them into tales of conflict and courage, challenges and triumphs, viewing everything through a child's eyes. He deals with tough subjects, as the young are forced to do at times.
