The Van Gogh Deception

I am a big fan of Estelle Ryan's art mystery series. Deron Hicks has created the YA version that has two tweets thwarting the bad guys. There are a lot of interesting art facts in this book, and I loved the QR codes that were linked to images of the artwork mentioned. This is a great way for the past and present to connect. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can see its appeal to both an adult and YA audience.

And he's quite a reader.He said it's a book to keep for ever. The best compliment.For my part, I was very glad to find a book outside of the percy jacksons etc.

I only expected to want to read the 1st book in the series. Thought it would be silly - a little fun fluff for the kids, that's all. But as soon as I finished, I put the next book in our cart. Impressed with the clever plot twists! Some of the "bad guy" scenes are a bit like Mission Impossible for kids (but clean). Lots of fun, 2 smart and independent kids, and just the right amount of intensity. Terrific summer reading!

11 year old loved it. Its interesting and different

I loved everything about this story. The subject matter (Van Gogh and Impressionism Art) and the adventure of the story worked very well to me. It was really a fun read. The interactive QR Reader for the masterpieces of art was very unique. I'm buying this book for my grandsons for Christmas and have recommended it to several friends as a great read. Full disclosure. I know Deron Hicks very well and I have been impressed with him for many years. I'm now even more impressed. Well done, Deron!
