They get into the underworld and the story takes a twist for the worse . Will they survive? Will they save the shadows of their friends?

I would give this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars. It was a great story, I personally thought it was great. I would reccomend it for 5th grade through maybe 9th grade because it might be too scary for younger ages. It had a very good plot throughout the whole story. The beginning is the only  dry part but otherwise it was fine.
