At the beginning of book two, Forest Shadows' (one year on) we find Jars and Snook accused of a crime of which they are, of course, innocent. To prove their innocence, with the help of Shadow, who is now Jars' dog, they embark on another exciting adventure. A continuity of characters from book one, with the mystical theme also enduring, and with a hint of another kind of celestial visitor, will please readers of Forest Spirit'. Forest Shadows' however, like Forest Spirit', will also stand on its own as a children's adventure that I'm sure will stand the test of time.
