About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses a sense of being misunderstood because of their intense creative focus or when they are struggling to balance their unique talents with the demands of the everyday world. It is a haunting, atmospheric story that validates the deep, sometimes overwhelming connection a young person can feel toward art and history. Geordie is a gifted young artist who begins to experience a terrifying connection to the spirit of Claude Monet. As the boundaries between her own world and the artist's paintings begin to blur, she must find the courage to reclaim her own identity. While it contains spooky elements, it is ultimately a story about self-confidence and the bravery required to be a creator. It is best suited for middle-grade readers who enjoy mysteries with a historical or artistic flair.
