 The Power Of The Shade
comment
The Power of the Shade is a young adult novel by British children's author Jacqueline Wilson. It was originally published in 1987 by Oxford University Press. The nine OUP books by Wilson are relatively little-known, all except one having been out of print for many years.May is an orphan being raised by her grandparents and great-aunt, the family of her late mother Amy. They idolise Amy and expect May to become just like her. May wants to be a writer, and grows attached to Rob, a new teacher of creative writing at her school. Her new friend, the mysterious Selina, claims she can initiate May as a witch and teach her how to use magic to win Rob's heart. Subsequently, mysterious events lead her to question if she really has "the power of the shade".

Palette Swap: May is repeatedly described as looking like Amy but with a different hair and eye colour. This is emphasised when May attempts a portrait of Amy, but feels uneasy and turns it into herself by painting over the hair and eyes.

Older Than They Look: May is 14 but looks very young for her age and people often think she's still in primary school. May thinks Rob is in his twenties, but he is actually 34 and has a teenage daughter of his own. Amy died very young and was only around 20-21; but seemingly did not look much older than May is now.

Bittersweet Ending: Arthur has died, and Annie has seemingly developed dementia, although May doesn't think she really has it. May reflects that she'll probably never know if Win was really her grandmother. Her friendship with Selina has ended, and things are very awkward with Rob. However, she treasures her grandfather's memory and is determined to finish her painting of him. She has become more confident and independent, and writes a new fairytale that reflects her newfound determination.

Always Second Best: May has been made to feel that she'll never live up to Amy. After becoming friends with the beautiful and popular Selina, May feels second best to her as well. In one of May's stories, a peasant family has seven daughters, and all are beautiful except the youngest; who is ugly and bitter. On each daughter's 14th birthday, a handsome prince arrives to take her back to his kingdom ... until the youngest daughter's birthday, when the prince takes one look at her and decides to run off with her mother instead.

The Un-Reveal
 The Power Of The Shade / int_5a3b8032
comment
The Unreveal: We never discover outright whether Win was Amy's birth mother. To support it, Mrs Roberts tells May that she and the other neighbours have long suspected Amy was born from Win and Arthur having an affair. Win is much more involved in May's upbringing than you would expect from an aunt. There are at least two occasions where when May says that Win is "just" her aunt, Win gets upset and is seemingly about to tell her something. May also catches Win snuggling with Arthur's cardigan after he dies. At one point, Annie refers to something bad Win supposedly did in the past, but Win hastily cuts her off. When Win describes Amy's last moments, May assumes that she must be lying because a hospital wouldn't allow Amy's aunt in. To not support it, Mrs Roberts is obviously trying to cause trouble. It's possible Win was in love with Arthur, that he left her for Annie, or they had an affair but no baby - all of which could explain Win's attachment to Amy, especially if she couldn't have her own children. It's also plausible that a hospital would allow an aunt in as close family, since Win lived with them. Win taking a bigger role in May's upbringing makes sense since Arthur had a serious health condition and Annie had to take care of him. Ultimately, May doesn't quite believe Arthur would have betrayed his wife. While she admits she could be wrong about that, she also isn't sure Annie would have forgiven Win.

Meaningful Name: May's name was chosen because it is an anagram of Amy. The name "Selina" is a form of Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon. On multiple occasions, Selina attempts to call on the power of the moon or perform spells by moonlight.

My God, What Have I Done?: May goes through this after her grandfather dies, thinking she is being magically punished because she painted over a portrait of Amy. After Rob turns her down, May attempts to put a curse on him by making a biscuit that looks like him and then burning it. The following day, when she sees fire engines in his part of town, she has this reaction and thinks she caused his house to burn down. The Fire Service were actually called out over a gas explosion in a neighbour's apartment. Rob comforts her and tells her there's no such thing as witchcraft.

With Friends Like These...: Selina is repeatedly spiteful and dismissive towards May, who ultimately gets sick of it and stops being friends with her.

comment
Sensory Overload: May has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and after her grandfather's death is often bothered by bad smells around the house. Rob suggests that maybe Win and Annie can't smell it because they are elderly; but May also detects smells in Rob's apartment that he doesn't notice.

Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Amy was blonde and is described by her parents and aunt as kind and angelic, although May (and the reader) only really has their word for it.
