Review: The Shadow Tribe: The Boy with the Scar

The Shadow Tribe: The Boy with the Scar The Shadow Tribe: The Boy with the Scar by Jaffrey Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Boy with the Scar by Jaffrey Clark is the first book in The Shadow Tribe series. Joby is homeless, and he does what he has to do to survive.

I read the first three books and found The Shadow Tribe to be a quite engaging series. With wonderful writing, Clark has a way of bringing his characters to life and making us care for them. We see their struggles and feel their torment. While the series starts out with us meeting Joby, we are introduced to an array of wonderful, and not so wonderful people. The setting is like any other city that has its wealthy and poor, but Clark puts you in that city as if you were actually living there yourself.

With great descriptions, Clark's imagination and character development takes us into Joby's world. Full of mystery and intrigue, and did I forget to mention magic? Yes, magic, as with a lot of fantasy, Clark adds an element of magic that I've not read about bringing something new to the genre. I highly recommend this series to middle graders and adults alike.
