Why read it?
1 author picked The Strange and Deadly Portraits of Bryony Gray as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As a kid, I was always enthralled by the idea of paintings coming to life. Blame it on old Vincent Price movies and Scooby-Doo cartoons! This book is clever and creepy, and at its heart, speaks to the power art has to change the world by unleashing truths we might not want to talk about. You may want to read some of this book with the lights on! (I did!)
From Wendy's list on middle grade that promote a love of art.
