Book Title: 3/5 marks I like simple book titles and I think Somber is a good one, however, it doesn't give a lot an idea as to what the book is about.
Book cover: 3/5 marks overall nice cover; titles is a little hard to see clearly and could perhaps experiment with the design
Book description: 4 /5 marks I love the blurb because it leads with a premise: a boy can communicate with his own shadow. This is a great hook!

Review: This book has fantastically creative premise; a boy that can talk to his shadow. It does a fantastic job of weaving in a number of mysteries very early on; what happened to his father, uncle and grandfather; is Randy a reliable narrator or does he have a mental health issue? The character is well developed, clearly anti-social and suspicious of others. The sense of alienation he feels as a teen is very relatable. This book does a great job of setting up a fast-paced paranormal mystery. There are some language issues that are relatively minor, but mostly center on using words and phrases that aren't quite right in the context. However, it's easy to read past this. The chapters are short, so this is a very fast read. The writer is highly creative and has wonderful moments where their developing voice comes through. Overall, a great read.
