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!

From Wendy's list on middle grade that promote a love of art.
