Based on the tried and true theme of good and evil, Beneath the Swirling Sky tells the story of a young boy, Vincent, who goes on a journey to save his sister with the help of his cousin. It's a story that explores family legacy, art and history and of course a little bit of magic! As Vincent and his cousin, Georgia, work to rescue little Lili, Vincent must also confront some lies he came to believe about himself and the gifts he'd been given by God. 

This story was fast paced, engaging and I enjoyed it! It would make for a great read aloud, and I loved the illustrations throughout! My daughter is always looking for chapter books with illustrations, and this will be a book she'll read over and over again!
