"Hollow Earth" will doubtless be a hit with the "Harry Potter" set.
Their power to enter paintings and create drawings that come to life - often to rescue themselves from peril - also makes them the target of otherworldly villains who want to exploit their magic. Two plucky protagonists, 12-year-old twins Matt and Em, seem pretty normal - except for their magical ability to bring art to life. Thomas from Simon and Schuster for helping us lock in the interview with John and Carole Barrowman before their recent book signing.The co-authors, a brother and sister team (Carole Barrowman is a professor and frequent contributor to this paper's books coverage her brother is a well-known television star in Great Britain) have written an imaginative and entertaining children's fantasy that's sure to cast a page-turning spell on readers. Special thanks to Maureen Palacios and the Once Upon A Time Bookstore in Montrose, CA. With so much at stake, nowhere is safe-and survival might be a fantasy. But the villains will stop at nothing to find Hollow Earth and harness the powers within. The twins flee from London to a remote island off the west coast of Scotland in hopes of escaping their pursuers and gaining the protection of their grandfather, who has powers of his own. All the demons, devils, and evil creatures ever imagined are trapped for eternity in the world of Hollow Earth-trapped unless special powers release them. Their extraordinary abilities are highly sought after, particularly by a secret group who want to access the terrors called Hollow Earth.
Together, they are able to bring art to life and enter paintings at will. Lots of twins have a special connection, but twelve-year-old Matt and Emily Calder can do way more than finish each other’s sentences. In this fresh and innovative middle grade fantasy, imagination matters most in a world where art can keep monsters trapped-or set them free.
