Twelve-year-old Penelope (aka “Penny”) is reeling from two devastating losses: her grandmother's death and the loss of her best friend who played a cruel stunt on her. When she travels to Paris to stay with her aunt, she meets the de Charpentier children, whose parents, art-world professionals, have mysteriously disappeared. Together, they unravel the mystery behind their disappearance using visual clues that transport them through the hidden stories and worlds within paintings. More than an adventure, this middle-grade graphic novel tackles the crisis of distraction, showing how art can restore focus, heal wounds, and unlock extraordinary possibilities for growth and wonder.
