Q: How did you decide to write for 10-14 year olds? A: When I was about 9 years old I loved reading action & adventure stories and mysteries. Being totally involved in the story and trying to figure out what was going to happen next was great fun, and for me this was the age when I first became really aware of how fantastic it was to read a well-written, gripping story. I wanted to recreate that feeling in
SHADOW JUMPER – to be action-filled and a page-turner but to also tackle contemporary themes and issues.
Q: What order should I read books in the series? Good question! The two books involve a different story, but my recommendation is to read SHADOW JUMPER first followed by the second book
TWILIGHT ROBBERY.
Q: What/who inspired the main character, Jack, in SHADOW JUMPER? I have to blame my sons for Jack’s main preoccupation of shadow jumping! As children they didn’t use to walk to school so much as jump between shadows on the pavement. I put this together with the idea of a boy sensitive to sunlight (a real condition that my dad suffered from, though not in such a severe form) and came up with Jack.
Q. Is this book for boys or girls? Both! Boys and girls between the ages of 9-14, teens and preteens, have read and loved it, so I hope you will too. If you enjoy a fast-paced middle-grade mystery adventure with lots of plot twists, then
SHADOW JUMPER could be the book for you, your child or grandchild. And I’d love to know what you think of it, so do leave a review on here or at www.jm-forster.com
