Manolo Olivar is the son of the greatest matador in Spain. Everyone expects him to be a bullfighter, and now, at eleven, he must fight his first bull. The only problem is that Manolo is afraid of bullsand cars, and heights. In fact, Manolo isn't a very brave boy at all. See if he finds the courage to fight with honor and become a matador like his father or if life takes him down another road. A glossary of bull-fighting terms is included. 151 pgs. ~ Rachel S.

Description
Publisher's Description of Shadow of a Bull
Manolo was only three when his father, the great bullfighter Juan Olivar, died. But Juan is never far from Manolo's consciousness -- how could he be, with the entire town of Arcangel waiting for the day Manolo will fulfill his father's legacy?
But Manolo has a secret he dares to share with no one -- he is a coward, without afición, the love of the sport that enables a bullfighter to rise above his fear and face a raging bull. As the day when he must enter the ring approaches, Manolo finds himself questioning which requires more courage: to follow in his father's legendary footsteps or to pursue his own destiny?
