Young Bartholomew isn't allowed to go to school, play outside or make art... so he sketches in secret.

When Bartholomew meets the skateboarding artist, Alexander DeVinci, he's yanked into a mythical realm of living paintings and breathing sculptures: Artania. The two soon learn that the strange world, where everything seems to be possible, is on the verge of destruction.

With Egyptian gods and goddesses by their side, they face daring battles and narrow skateboarding escapes. But can they defeat the evil Sickhert's army, and bring art back to the world?

Praise:

- "A fantastically original concept. Kudos."

- "I started to read this book myself and decided it mandatory to share with my kids. There's a good moral and everything is kept family friendly, even though the story is deep enough for most adults."

- "A great book for kids that teaches them about the importance of art and self-expression.

- "I started to read this book myself and decided it mandatory to share with my kids. It's like watching a Pixar movie. The children love it and the parents can derive their own enjoyment from the same story. There's a good moral and everything is kept family-friendly, even though the deeper story is deep enough for most adults."

- Wonderfully refreshing and beautifully written... What a pleasant and appreciated surprise to see the importance of art taking main stage in a young reader's book today."
