Welcome to the adventures of Vincent Ward, where getting through each day alive just isn’t enough.
My Take:
Nonstop action with a touch of artistry? This was a good first start for a first book of an action packed series, and great for the middle grade child who has a flair for the dramatic! I really liked the fact that some actual history was included that we don't often get besides the Magic Tree House Series. I really don't know much about art history so I really enjoyed learning more about Caravaggio, it wasn't in your face history, so I think most kids will read it as part of the story and not as an actual history lesson. There is some violence, thus the PG rating. I found it very entertaining and I'm sure it will soon find it's place among other popular middle grade literature!
Recommendation:
Young and old will find excitement in this novel, you can pick it up from Amazon for only $.99 right now!
