What is Shadowsmith about?

When Amelia Pigeon appears at Kirby’s bedroom window and asks if he is brave, he is swept into a hidden world of ancient spirits attacking his seaside village. Kirby has enough to worry about: his mother is in a coma, his relationship with his father is strained, and a strange spider seems to be watching him. With Amelia claiming to be a powerful Shadowsmith, Kirby must face terrifying dangers and uncover the truth before the spirits destroy everything he knows.
