I read this with my son to get him to read books with a broader vocabulary than what he encounters in the comics he reads 🙄. We both enjoyed it. It‘s a bit slow at times for the attention span of a 10 year old but I love how the author transports their readers into the past and introduces them to art while telling an entertaining story. The writing too is good. I think this could appeal to 9-11 year olds.
