You don’t have to fully appreciate art to enjoy reading Beneath the Swirling Sky by Carolyn Leiloglou. This book was a magical journey and a beautiful adventure.
The main character, Vincent was once an aspiring artist, until an unfortunate experience. Now, Vincent refuses to pick up a paintbrush! During a trip to their art-loving great-grandfather’s house, (which Vincent is NOT happy about), Vincent’s precious younger sister Lili goes missing—into a painting! Alongside his optimistic cousin Georgia, Vincent is forced to face his fears as he discovers a massive family secret, full of mystery and adventure.
Throughout the book, Carolyn Leiloglou brings famous paintings to life through the eyes of Vincent and Georgia. Her vivid descriptions made me curious, and I enjoyed looking up images of the paintings that she includes in the book. Experiencing paintings in Carolyn Leiloglou’s Beneath the Swirling Sky is incredible!
“Every word is like a brushstroke that outlines a beautiful story and keeps you yearning for more!”
