THE FIRST BOOK IN THE SHADOW SERIES"This is a great series for tweens & young adults. Clean, fun, and super action-packed." - Realms of an Open Mind"Elliott takes the reader into an absolutely unique and captivating world where nothing is as it seems and reminds us that reality isn't so bad after all. It's rare I come across a book that can entertain me and my ten year old daughter. Fantastic read."- Abbi GlinesRoxie wants to be like Adrianne, the popular girl who gets everything she wants--a flock to prowl around the mall with; invitations to parties; and for Hayden, the cutest guy in the eighth grade to, you know, notice her.

Roxie astral projects to Planet Popular where she becomes seventeen instantly and gets everything she's always wanted, but nothing is as it seems. Being a high school peacock is complicated and Roxie will risk everything to be who she thinks she wants to be. Oh yeah, there's Prom, doppelgangers, a mysterious map, and lots of bad peacocks too. BONUS EXCERPT:Shadow Slayer, Book 2 in The Shadow Series is available for 99 cents for a limited time! 13 on Halloween & Shadow Slayer are now available as audiobooks on Amazon too!Recent Reviews:"Judging by the first book, it will be a series to follow. Laura has crafted an alternate reality which is both believable and spooky at the same time.""The writing is strong, story engaging and the characters very lovable--even when you think maybe you shouldn't. The plot took me somewhere I wasn't expecting and I dove into that."
