Synopsis

The Shadow Maker

I replace old shadows with new ones, plump shadows with lean ones, shabby shadows with spiffy ones," the Shadowmaker tells the townspeople. Soon everyone is parading around with brand-new shadows -- everyone, that is, except Drizzle and her grouchy brother, Soot, who can't afford them. Then Drizzle decides to do a little investigating to learn the Shadowmaker's secrets. But the Shadowmaker is a wily old magician, and his shadows aren't exactly what he promised. Drizzle must use a little magic of her own to set things right again.
