Art and Intrique,
This review is from: Secrets of the Cirque Medrano (Hardcover)
This is historical fiction that combines intrique and art. Set in 1904 Paris, a 14-year-old girl makes friends with the artists and performers, plus a spy or two, who frequent her aunt's cafe. A friend is even the subject for Picasso's famous painting, Family of Saltimbanques. Brigette and Paco become involved in political intrigue that pertains to the beginnings of the Russian Revolution. While Picasso plays an important role in the story, Scott is careful not to put words in his mouth and all of the characters are realistic. Scott combines history and art into an excellent novel for older elementary and early teen readers that may even encourage them to look at Picasso's paintings and learn more about circus performers.
