5 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
When Sargent Singer discovers that the paintings in his fathers gallery are alive, he is pulled into a captivating world behind the frame that he never knew existed. Filled with shady characters, devious plots, and a grand art heist, this inventive mystery-adventure celebrates art and artists and is perfect for fans of Night at the Museum and Blue Ballietts Chasing Vermeer. Theres one important rule at the Beaverbrook Gallerydont let anyone know the paintings are alive. Mona Dunn, forever frozen at thirteen when her portrait was painted by William Orpen, has just broken that rule. Luckily twelve-year-old Sargent Singer, an aspiring artist himself, is more interested in learning about the vast and intriguing world behind the frame than he is in sharing her secret. And when Mona and Sargent suspect shady dealings are happening behind the scenes at the gallery, they set out to find the culprit. They must find a way to save the galleryand each otherbefore they are lost forever. With an imaginative setting, lots of intrigue, and a thoroughly engaging cast of characters, The Frame-Up will captivate readers of Jacqueline Wests The Books of Elsewhere.

ShelleyBooksie I can take pics.of the outside of the gallery for sure! It's a great book - my kiddo and I read it last summer. She went to art camp at the gallery and the author came in to speak about the book. 1y
mcctrish @Shelley outside pics are great, to prove it is a real place. And I‘m curious if there are halls with similar names at all? How cool that she went to art camp ❤️❤️❤️ 1y
