The Shadow of the Slave Ship (Shadows of the Past Book 20) Kindle Edition

by Wendy Leighton-Porter (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars (1)
When a ship from the Caribbean arrives in 18th-century Bristol, a young slave boy seizes his chance to escape. As Cuffey flees through the docks he meets three children and their cat who are far from home in more ways than one. They haven’t come from another country, but another time – the 21st century.
Together, the young time-travellers and the runaway slave embark on a journey that takes them across the country to London… and the start of a gripping adventure.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The latest in the Shadows of the Past series is a winner. Wendy Leighton-Porter has woven an impressive story around a dark period in human history, viz., the slave trade. The writer is able to bring periods of history alive, and her meticulous research adds credibility to the stories. A wonderful way to teach history!"

My books have won various awards over the past couple of years, including gold and silver medals in the Children's Literary Classics Book Awards 2018 and 2019, and a bronze in the Readers' Favorite Book Awards 2019. I have also been shortlisted twice in the Rubery Book Awards.

The Shadow of Atlantis is the first in a series of time-travel adventures, featuring 3 children and a magnificent Tonkinese cat called Max. The most recent title in the series is The Shadow of the Great Fire, set in mid-17th century London, and I'm now working on book number 18 - The Shadow of the Slave Ship.

As I take my young readers on a magical mystery tour through the past, I'm hoping that my love of history, myth and legend will rub off on them too. Personally, I'm enjoying the journey so much, I don't ever want it to end! Why not come along with me for the ride?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and entertaining story about a dark period in human history.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2026
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Again, the writer has brought to life a slice of history in a truly gripping story. The Lancelot twins, their friend Charlie and Jemima’s talking Tonkinese cat, Max, in another time-travel journey into the past, nearly meeting up with the twins’ lost parents, rescue Cuffey, an escaped slave boy, encounter the great Dr Samuel Johnson and his beloved cat, Hodge, foiling the man’s dastardly rival. Helpful and detailed explanations of topics covered at the end of the book, too. Next time I’m in London, I should pay a visit to Hodge’s bronze statue in Gough Street!
