Publisher Description: Behind the Canvas by Alexander Vance is an adventurous middle grade novel full of friendship, magic, and mystery. There is a world behind the canvas. Past the flat facade and the crackling paint is a realm where art lives, breathes, creates, and destroys. From the author of The Heartbreak Messenger, this is an adventure that will enchant readers. Praise for Behind the Canvas A VOYA 2016 "Top of the Shelf" Pick "This well-paced mystery offers a pleasing protagonist and a very unusual setting. Vance cleverly injects the story with a bevy of secondary characters, many of whom readers will recognize from European paintings and popular art, and humorous footnotes from a fictional art-history textbook balance the tension. Themes of trust and loyalty figure prominently in this story, which explores what it means to be a true friend." --Booklist "Readers will end up learning a great deal about art history along the way . . . an inspired concept." --School Library Journal |
