Book I read in late elementary or middle school (1980’s-1990’s) . I think the main character was a boy and the story had something to do with shadows. I remember doing a book report on it and making a map of the city that I think I copied from the book. I also feel like there might have been a neighbor involved in the story.
Possibly Betty Brock’s The Shades. It’s about shadows but doesn’t have enough of a city to have a map.
Thanks. I’m checking that one out from the library to see if it’s it.
Lisa, thank you for this answer! I just learned about Stump the Bookseller and, without expecting much, searched “shadows”… I have been thinking of this book off and on for 30 years. I used to borrow it from my best friend to read over and over again. Thank you!
