Jane A C West, Roger Hurn Shadows from Beyond the Stars

Annotation

Something is very wrong. People's shadows are taking on a life of their own - and they are up to no good. Dark times lie ahead if Jack and Wanda don't shine a light on what's going on. Badger's hugely popular Alien Detective Agency series features 20 books that follow a human/alien crime-fighting duo called Jack Swift and Wanda Darkstar as they meet weird and wonderful aliens, both on other worlds and here on Earth. Their adventures progress across two sets of ten books, which can also be enjoyed as standalone novels. These reluctant readers are aimed at students with a reading age of 8-9 and an interest age of 9-14. The vibrant, witty main characters and exciting plots make Alien Detective Agency a must-have for any school library.
