BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: MANY
Evie believed in magic words and magic tricks, but they had no effect on her three younger siblings who she wished would be quiet and leave her alone. Evie found a magic wand, said some magic words, and disappeared down through the ground, but her siblings followed. They found themselves in a fantastical world blending the deep sea and outer space. When her siblings are in peril, she helps them. After they help a baby whale tangled in a net of constellations, they wonder how they will ever get home.
The Great Escape is an imaginative adventure touching on coping skills in a noisy family, and how peace can be found in chaos. Marcero's illustrations are beautiful featuring digital illustrations with real photographs from the James Webb Space Telescope. I liked how the book's orientation changed as the story progressed.
