INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Baucom, Ian

Through the Skylight

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Justin Gerard. An enigmatic Venetian shopkeeper entreats siblings Jared, Shireen, and Miranda to stop the theft of relics connected with three children kidnapped from an eight-hundred-year-old storybook. Familiar lessons about self-confidence and an abrupt resolution are offset by the compelling dual narrative, time-bending magic, and mystical allies. Black-and-white spot pencil illustrations help set the mood.
