A review by jbojkov
The Van Gogh Deception by Deron R. Hicks

5.0

Another great book from the 2018-2019 Lone Star list. I think this fast-paced mystery is probably a little more suited to upper-elementary readers, but hopefully middle graders will give it a shot. It has a solid art-history element and I think the author did a good job of blending in little tidbits of information without making it seem like he was giving a lesson. The two main characters were interesting and spunky and they tumbled from one tight spot to the next. Give this to kids who like smart, fast-paced, mysteries.
