Description

In this mesmerising follow-up to Nightlights, Lorena Alvarez explores our relationship with nature and animals.On a school field trip to the river, Sandy wanders away from her classmates and discovers an empty turtle shell. Peeking through the dark hole, she suddenly finds herself within a magical new dimension. Filled with sculptures, paintings and books, the turtle’s shell is a museum of the natural world. But one painting is incomplete, and the turtle needs Sandy’s help to finish it...

Critic Reviews

“"This is a layered, complex tale, and to call Alvarez's artwork a visual delight would be criminally understated. Filled with rich colors, tremendous detail, and tons of atmosphere it is a book for reading slowly and then a book for reading multiple times. The worlds Alvarez creates are utterly entrancing, and I look forward to Sandy's next journey."-- Julie Danielson for Kirkus Reviews”

Alvarez's artwork is luminous and stunning, full of detail, evocative and engaging. Just as unsettling and delightful as its predecessor, Lorena Alvarez's new instalment in the Nightlights series is as gorgeous as it is imaginative. Children's Books Ireland Recommended Reads 2019-20
