The first book was Nightlights, and there doesn't seem to be any real connection between the books to make it a series, except maybe that the art style is very similar-for young kids, colorful, fanciful. The second in Lorena Alvarez Gomez's series, Nightlights. But this book had a few other messages, one having to do with environmentalism - in a nicely soft way though - and the other with a love for books and art (another carry-over from the previous volume).Ī fantastic member of my collection and I'm hoping the author will continue this series. It was therefore highly interesting to see Sandy after the events of the previous book and thus see her personal growth. Once again, one of the main messages is the power of imagination but also fear. That plus the cute, colourful and very expressive art make this book a delight! Once again, Sandy's imagination as well as the author's fantastic way of taking the reader to all the places Sandy dreams herself to are wonderful. She also meets the resident turtle, the titular Hictoea, and finds out that the shell contains a kind of library/museum of the whole natural world and that the turtle needs her help with the painting showing the wetlands Sandy is currently visiting. On the trip, Sandy finds an empty turtle shell and a whole realm within. This time, we're accompanying her on a school field trip. We're back with little Sandy whom we were introduced to in the first book of this series, Nightlights.
