About this listen

When eleven-year-old Finn notices that his shadow no longer follows the rules, his ordinary days in a quiet town unravel into something extraordinary.

What begins as a trick of light soon becomes a secret friendship—and a dangerous curiosity. Each time Finn trades shadows with the creatures around him, he borrows a piece of their life: a sparrow’s flight, a lion’s courage, a cat’s grace, a fisherman’s patience. But every borrowed gift leaves his own shadow thinner, until one morning, it disappears completely.

To find it again, Finn must journey beyond the edge of daylight—through the Valley of Lost Shadows, guided only by a sly fox and the fragments of his fading self. There, he will face the truth of what it means to belong, and the cost of losing the parts that make us whole.

Poetic, mysterious, and deeply human, The Boy Who Borrowed Shadows is a timeless tale of light and loss, wonder and courage, and the small trades we make to understand who we are.
