Amazing new middle grade fiction
I've been diving back into middle grade fiction after a bit of respite. I found several on Netgalley that have been languishing in my To Be Read pile so it's great to be able to dig up a few gems! Here's what I've been reading! The first one is called "Behind the Canvas" by Alexander Vance. It's his second book (although I didn't read the first) and I really love his voice. This story is about a girl named Claudia who feels like she doesn't fit in. She really likes art and all her classmates think she's weird. The weirdness comes to the forefront when her class is on a trip to the Florence Museum of Arts and Culture and she notices a boy with vivid blue eyes in one of the paintings. Except no one else can see him. She sets forth on a quest to free the boy from an evil sorceress and ends up walking through some of the most famous paintings in the world. It's a super fun and thrilling adventure but what I really liked were the foot...
