by George P. Andrews (Author), Beryl Wilder (Illustrator) The KIVA Chronicles Volume 2 continues with more of Sonny Boy's odyssey. The overall story is a mystery that is woven and unraveled through many adventures ending with extensive art studies in Europe. The KIVA Chronicles reveal the mystery through a series of gatherings called KIVAs that provide not only narrative and dialogue among and between animals, but also provides portals to the realm of the living. Thus, much like the indigenous communities of North America, the KIVA is a gathering place where the physical and spiritual realms intertwine over space and time revealed through portals of reality. The animals are the pets that lived with and served the boy during his life. The pets continue to provide the KIVA discussions in extensive narratives of European art, architecture, hippies, Cold War and Vietnam war history. These are all woven together through the physical and spectral realms revealed with the orb crystal changes at the gatherings. The Animals again relate the intermittently fantastical, factual, suspenseful, and semi-autobiographical story of Sonny Boy's travels, interesting encounters, and advanced art studies in Western Europe during the '70's. The overall story is a mystery that is woven and unravels through the happenings in Europe. *WARNING!* The Second Chapter may contain graphic sexual language.
