Witch In The Tower #2 Three Sisters Trilogy

by Julia Sarda

The sequel to The Queen in the Cave, and the second title in The Three Sisters trilogy, this new picture book from the uniquely thrilling mind of Júlia Sardà follows middle sister Carmela on a wild, wondrous adventure that leads to an incredible transformation. Carmela's older sister, Franca, has stopped playing with her and she cannot help but feel sad and left out. No one can make her feel better, not even her little sister. So she decides to play a game: she will walk until she can’t anymore and then ... she will walk a little more. Carmela suddenly arrives at a strange tower where she meets a witch who, it seems, has been waiting for Carmela all this time. She welcomes Carmela into a world far beyond the limits of her imagination, where Carmela visits libraries teeming with ancient books; rooms where worms and spiders weave intricate dresses; a wonderful dome of crystal prisms and, finally, Carmela takes flight - her worries shrinking, her mind expanding. Carmela discovers a magic and power within herself – to see beyond the hurt and pain of growing up, to find her own place in the world.

It goes without saying that Sardà's illustrations are to die for, but there's so much more to say about this stunning wee pukapuka. An ode to the inspirational & uplifting power of strange & joyful old women, this simultaneously nostalgic and electrifyingly original story evokes a feeling of absolute delight. A beautiful exploration of resilience, changing sibling dyanamics, radical cosmic expression & self acceptance. Magic in every sense of the word.
