This is a fabulous kids adventure story. You couldn't help but love the main characters and the setting for the story was great. There were lots of art history references for the older reader to get as well. The story was so well written. I thought the short chapters worked really well and the author was king of the cliff hanger with nearly every chapter leaving you wanting to read the next one. The illustrations throughout really added a special touch to the book as well.

I loved reading this with my kid (he loved it too) and we both cannot wait to pick up the next one.
