As Journee navigates both frustrating classmates and gaining a new friend at school, she learns that the Underers are linked to the home\u2019s ancient alarm\u2014and that Shadow Edge houses dangerous secrets that threaten their realm and the human one above.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher\u2019s supporting cast is one-note and the parental figures are comically absurd, but Journee\u2019s burgeoning relationship with her new underground family makes for an endearing tale.<\/p>\n<p>Younger readers will delight in the creatures of Shadow Edge, along with the abundant crude humor, as Christopher\u2019s whimsical narrative grounds itself in themes including grief, loss, and the occasionally scary nature of change.
