Shadow Jumper: A mystery adventure book for children and teens aged 10-14 (A Shadow Jumper Mystery Adventure)

Product Information

I thoroughly enjoyed the book as whilst reading it I loved the way I was able to build a picture in my mind. Once you were involved in the story it was popping with a new matter.

Once your class has finished reading Shadow Jumper by J.M. Forster (or at least most of it), it’s time for meaningful discussions! There are many ways you can facilitate these conversations; one way is by having each student select a passage from the text that resonated with them personally or reminded them of something they experienced themselves, then asking them to explain why this particular passage was meaningful or significant to them. Other approaches could include having each student come up with questions related to characters or events in the novel; then using those questions as prompts for discussion or essay topics throughout the unit. You could even assign roles among your students – such as protagonist or antagonist – and have them act out scenes from the novel!I think the words Kelly was trying to think of were Xeroderma Pigmentosum, or XP and I think I am hard done by when I don't enjoy being out in the sun particularly! It seems interesting that the author did not include a romance between the characters. As this is also different I think that it is a good thing.

I loved the fact that a character like Aunty Lil was added to the story as her ferocious jokes that were not funny made me laugh. EPP is an extremely rare and lifelong inherited condition arising from a high quantity of protoporphyrin in red blood cells, resulting in immediate pain when exposed to the sun’s blue light. Often occurring in childhood, EPP manifests as intense burning and itching of sun-exposed skin, especially on the nose, cheeks, and hands. It’s often followed by redness, swelling, or blanching, lasting from minutes to days. The characters in Shadow Jumper are incredibly dynamic and flawed, making it easier for students to relate to them on some level. When teaching this book, you should encourage your students to analyze each character’s motivations and development throughout the novel so they can understand why certain decisions were made at specific points in time. You may want to assign individual character studies or have your class discuss characters’ relationships with each other; this will help them gain a better understanding of how characters interact with one another within a larger context.

This sounds like a fascinating story, Tracy, and your review is of course wonderful. I've heard of being allergic to sunlight--what an interesting way of presenting this! I am intrigued.

[Online available J M Forster is an award-winning writer of books for children and young teens. She lives in Gloucestershire with her husband, two sons, Ben and Louis, and Frodo, the Australian labradoodle. Her first attempt at writing was when she was nine years old. That manuscript is still somewhere in the attic being looked after by the spiders. Shadow Jumper, her popular mystery adventure for 9 year olds to young teens, has now been joined by a long-awaited sequel, Twilight Robbery. J M Forster has also published Bad Hair Days, a touching mystery about family, friendships and being different. One of the best ways to make classroom lessons more engaging is by using technology—and Shadow Jumper provides plenty of opportunities for that. After reading a chapter of the book aloud, you can have students watch related videos or listen to music that fits the theme of the chapter. Using tech doesn’t just make things more interesting; it also helps students better understand what they’ve read by providing additional context and visuals.
