The Shadow Girl
The Shadow Girl | John Larkin
3 posts | 2 read | 12 to read
'I tried to be forgettable. That's how I survived.' The shadow girl never imagined she'd live on the streets. After her parents disappear, life with her aunt and uncle takes a sinister turn. Terrified that the authorities will believe her uncle over her, she flees. She tricks her way into a new school and pretends to have a loving family. No one knows she sleeps in rail yards, sand dunes and abandoned houses. At school she meets the author she will call on years later. Together they piece together the story of how she survived, who helped her, and the friend she wishes she could have saved. Thrilling, profound and blackly funny, The Shadow Girl is John Larkin's best and most important novel to date.

Inspired by a real student this book is beautiful and hard to read but should be. Loved chatting to John, he's a top bloke, feminist and just thinks the way people should. John for PM.

I'm going to start off my very first post on here with my favourite book ever! The Shadow Girl by John Larkin is a book that will take you on a journey through the life of the Shadow Girl (she is unnamed in the book, as it is about a true story)
This book is written so well, and it just makes me FEEL, ya know? 🙌🏻👌🏻

Fantastic novel for anyone interested in the raw story of what it's like to be homeless during youth.
