Summary

In our world, twelve-year-old Timothy Scott fades into the shadows. Bullied and ridiculed he discovers an enchanting world hidden behind an antique mirror and in a heartbeat everything changes. Can he become a hero and save a world from a sinister darkness?

After another sleep filled with nightmares and a day being picked on by the school bullies, Timothy Scott longs for escape. When his only real friend, a voice only he can hear, offers him the chance to travel to a new world, it's an offer he cannot turn down.

As Timothy finds himself dragged through an antique mirror, he discovers a fantastic and enchanting world he never knew existed. Despite the amazing creatures he discovers and adventures he embarks on, there is something looming in the shadows, something he is already familiar with.

When Timothy learns the monster from his recurring nightmare is in fact real, he must make an impossible choice. His newfound friends call on him to become their hero and face the rising evil that threatens to destroy their world. Is he strong enough to become the hero they need, or is it all too much for a young boy to handle?

Shadow Island is the first in the Behind The Mirror coming of age fantasy series filled with magic, enchantment, fantastic creatures and heart. Fall in love with an outcast boy and watch him grow as he fights against his own insecurities and fears.

A wonderful adventure begins .............

The first instalment of Timothy Scott Shadow Island

Timothy Scott is a quiet and reserved 12 year old boy who prefers his own company and struggles to socialise with his peers.

He discovers that the voice of his life long ‘imaginary’ friend called Aleobe is actually real and belongs to an Ecilop from another world.

Upon entering the realm of Mielikulvitus with his companion, he meets up with a myriad of fantastical creatures and beasts. Timothy learns that he is special and is a chosen Partum Spiritus whose destiny is to battle the mysterious Dark Entity of his dreams and also the Shadowlands.

The descriptive writing is a delight and you’ll find yourself shutting your eyes as you create in your imagination this wondrous world and all the magical characters encountered.

Loved the ending and so looking forward to the next instalment of Timothy Scott Shadow Island.

George Kuch is a seasoned narrator and brings the story to life.

So if you have children or even as an adult, join Timothy as he overcomes his fears and learns that being different is not a weakness but is in fact his strength.

If you like Percy Jackson I think you’ll like this!

After asking for book recommendations from friends and family I was advised to try Timothy Scott: Shadow Island.
I read part of the book detail and felt sceptical as soon as it mentioned ecilops and Mielikuvitus - I’ve never really enjoyed fantastical books! Anyway, I thought I’d give it a go.
I listen to audible books as I work and I soon found myself pausing to gaze into the distance, imagining what was being described. The narrator has a great voice and I think he really brought the book to life. The scenes described were done in detail by the author and allowed you to feel like you were there.
I’ve not read Percy Jackson but I have seen the films, I did think, after the book concluded, that this would definitely appeal to anyone else who found them enjoyable.
I also think that this would be a great book for a parent to read (and would enjoy doing so) to their child (maybe 6 and above) to engage them in a world where the child could feel like they are the hero - with a bit of help from their parent! ;-)
I’m looking forward to the next instalment!

Dark Shadows

A fantastic first book in the Timothy Scott series, Timothy is a young boy who has no friends, self confidence and has a recurring nightmare about a dark shawdow that's he needs therapy, being bullied in school and tormented by his brother, he has imagined up a freind, but Timothy discovers his imaginary friend is very real, and when he is draged into a mirror to another world, where magical creatures and new adventure will begin, this book definitely grabs the attention of the reader, intrigued to watch Timothy's character grow and develop, a fantastic coming of age book that focuses on the reality of not fitting in and finding your inner strength, perfect for of Harry Potter Narnia fans, the Narrator George Kuch gives a brilliant preformence, highly recommended...😁
