Sixteen-year-old Violet loves reading manga and wearing scarves made from kimono fabric, so she's thrilled that her father's new painting commission means a summer trip to Japan. But what starts as an exotic vacation quickly turns into a dangerous treasure hunt. Her father's newest clients, the Yamada family, are the victims of a high-profile art robbery: van Gogh sketches have been stolen from their home, and, until they can produce the corresponding painting, everyone's lives are in danger -- including Violet's and her father's.
has done an awe-inspiring job with the creation of this book. With a lively and fast paced plot, and settings like Seattle all the way to Tokyo, this is a book that you won't be able to put down. The descriptions and details create such a clear image in your mind that you'll want to read it over and over again. This book was written perfectly for most people age 10 to 14. This is one of the most intriguing books you will read this year.
