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.

This is one of the most intriguing books you will read this year.
