A powerful novel from Michael Morpurgo, the nation's favourite storyteller...
Never have Aman and his mother needed a friend more than when a Springer Spaniel appears, thin and war-ravaged, in the mouth of their Afghan cave. Nursed back to health by Aman, the dog becomes a constant companion, a shadow, and that's what Aman decides to call her. Now in paperback, the hardback sold an incredible 58k copies in the run-up to Christmas last year.
