One night in the Louvre, the glass in front of the Mona Lisa fogs up from the inside, and Noor hears it humming. When she and her brother Felix touch it together, they land in Florence in December 1913, two years after the painting was stolen, on the night before it is found. But someone else is in Florence with a perfect copy, and Felix is sure he knows which one is real.
Studio Detectives
Ages 10–12Studio Detectives is a series of illustrated adventures for readers aged ten to twelve about art, music and performance. Felix, who draws everything, and his sister Noor, who drums on everything, go to work at night with their dad, a museum guard in Paris. When the galleries are dark, some works begin to hum, and if both children touch one, it takes them into its own story. Each book delivers one art form through a real work, a real time and the evidence of how it was made.
