All the good times their family had spent together had been with Caitlin. Without her, how could they ever be a proper family again?

Jodie’s world is turned upside down after losing her sister in a tragic horse riding accident. Months later and still trying to pretend that it hasn’t happened, she sees a shadowy creature hiding in a hedgerow. Soon, objects connected to her sister start disappearing – as do Jodie’s memories. Although she has fought so hard to bury these memories, a wave of panic now sweeps over her.

Realising who the thief is, Jodie pursues it through the darkness. Will she be able to face the terrifying feelings that threaten to overwhelm her and find a path through grief towards hope?

A moving story for KS2 children, ‘The Shadow in the Snow’ addresses themes of grief, loss, bereavement and hope. Find out more on the Twinkl website HERE
