- W4253896505 abstract "Reviewed by: The Shadow Hunt Kate Quealy-Gainer Langrish, Katherine. The Shadow Hunt. Harper/HarperCollins, 2010. [336p.] ISBN 978-0-06-111676-6 $16.99 Reviewed from galleys R Gr. 5-8. After suffering one too many beatings, Wolfstan flees the monastery where he was raised and makes his way into the wilderness of the Devil's Edge, certain that he is being pursued both by the monks he's escaping and the rumored demons of the windswept moors. Fortunately, Wolf soon finds shelter and work at the castle of the legendary knight and Crusades hero Lord Hugo. Lord Hugo, however, is haunted by the memory of his dead wife, and he thus charges Wolf with an impossible task: convince a kidnapped elf child to lead Hugo to the Underworld so that he can regain his beloved. Hugo's quiet but plucky daughter, Nest, assists Wolf the best she can, but the arrival of a mysterious stranger, who tells uncanny tall tales of that other world, moves the quest into high gear. Beautifully crafted, from its careful blend of Celtic mythology and historical fiction to its compelling characterizations, this British import offers a lively romp through a wonderfully creepy setting, complete with wailing ghosts, backstabbing demons, and even a mischievous hearth hob. Additionally, the authenticity of each of the three major characters, along with several compelling secondary castmates, elevates Langrish's tale from a simple fantasy to an intriguing study of grief, desire, and ambition while its straightforward prose allows the story to remain accessible to younger readers. A hasty ending leaves a few loose ends, but the ambiguities are forgivable in light of the impeccable pacing and solid storytelling that precede them.
