"A warm, wonderful book about art, heritage and community, Shadowshaper is the story of Sierra Santiago, a Brooklyn teenager painting her first big mural on an abandoned building. But the murals in her neighborhood are changing: Some faces weep; others look terrified; all are fading too quickly. In fits and starts, her grandfather explains that Sierra is part of a long line of sorcerer-artists being hunted through the city by a strange and destructive power. Together with her friends, Sierra must sift through family secrets to understand and confront it, in a story full of friendships, banter, gorgeous voice work and refreshing characters."
