THE PAINTED DRAGON (KATHERINE WOODFINE)


There is only chaos at Sinclair’s, the most famous department store in London, when a priceless painting from His Majesty’s own collection is stolen from under Scotland Yard's own nose! The Green Dragon is a priceless painting painted by Benedetto Caselli in the year 1455. Now we need a backstory. A few months ago, Leo Fitzgerald had been accepted to The Spencer, the best Art school in England, where the best artists had been trained. She has a bad leg and needs a crutch to support her while she walks. But she is a wonderful artist and can draw almost anything using only a few pencils and paper.

At the spencer she finds friends in the shape of Connie, Jack and Smitty. The famous art collector Mr. Randolph convinces Leo to paint a copy of the Green Dragon. If it was very good, he would buy it as a memory. Leo worked very hard but when Lyle saw it, he poured scorn on her painting and Leo threw it into the dustbin. On the day of the exhibition, the real Green Dragon was not there and in its place was Leo’s copy of the Green Dragon!

Now its up to the detectives Sophie and Lil, to solve the mystery and bring home the Green Dragon. This books genre is Mystery as it is super spooky and unputdownable.

I recommend it to the age group 10+.

THE HOWLER RATING: ★★★★★
