Schatten – Das Portal (Schatten 2)

Breathless excitement for children aged 10 and up. A boy gives up his shadow to fulfill his heart's desire. But the price he pays is high. An exciting and gripping novel for children and an ideal gift for all graphic novel fans.

In search of the missing shadows... Imagine a village of elves. Pretty little houses with brightly lit windows. Reindeer nibbling on treats, rosy-cheeked elves, and the sound of jingling bells. And now forget all of that. It's just a fairy tale.

Pete and his friend Sara have traveled to the world of Santa Claus. They are searching for the shadows that have disappeared from Earth. But the beings in this world – elves, fairies, trolls, and others – are at odds with each other. Who can friends trust in a land where everyone is suspicious of one another? And what dark secrets will Santa's old notebook reveal?

Captivating story: Breathless excitement for children. Great visuals: Many fantastic colorful illustrations create atmosphere. Short chapters: Also suitable for reluctant readers and those who struggle with reading. Extra motivation: There is a quiz for this book on Antolin.
