When Jamie and her brother Billy are trapped inside a painting, they want nothing more than to get back to the real museum. But every time they try going back, the museum disappears. They need to find Paul Cézanne to reveal the trick to getting home--and that's not easy. To find him, they need to learn how to experience and appreciate artistic works.
Step into a world of art and adventure with Jamie and Billy as they navigate among several styles of painting by artists from six countries. In the form of a mystery, the two children learn to recognize the work of Paul Cézanne as compared to Claude Monet, Isaac Levitan, and others. The book is exciting on its own and can also support a student's understanding of the National Core Arts Standards. Grades 2 to 4.
