Môže človek nechať zmiznúť svoj tieň? Dievčatko Hortenzia sa totiž hnevá, že nie je ani chvíľku sama. Kamkoľvek sa pohne, prenasleduje ju jej vlastný tieň. Všetko po nej opakuje a keď sa začne stmievať, rastie. Je vysokánsky a zlovestný. Kým však Hortenzia pochopí, že sa ho nemusí báť, ba že ho dokonca potrebuje, musí čeliť jednému strašidelnému stretnutiu. K jej domu sa totiž blížia zlodeji. Čo urobí a kto jej pomôže? Príbeh pre malých aj veľkých o tom, že strachy a obavy patria k našim prirodzeným pocitom. Knižka, ktorú spoločne vytvorili sestry Natalia a Lauren O´Hara, vyšla vo Veľkej Británii v roku 2017 ako ich autorský debut. Inšpirovali sa tajomnými príbehmi, ktoré im pred spaním rozprávala ich česko-poľská babička.
