A review by nadiacoleccionista
The Art of Running Away by Sabrina Kleckner

Thank you so much Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.

we have a middle grade story in which our main character is involved in the art world and the art store that her grandmother started and is now going through hard times; and after her parents send her to her aunt to find other hobbies, she runs into her brother who she hasn't seen in years and ponders whether to go with him or stay with her aunt, but believes her brother may hold the key to saving the art store.

The plot explores culture, art, the relationship between parents and teens, coming of age, sibling bonding and friendship. I think each of these topics were covered in a good way that I liked, but I feel like the parents who are the people with the "wiser" advice didn't play a good role and that threw me off a bit.

I highly recommend it for all ages, it has interesting and important topics that it covers in a good way, the main character is curious and easy to like and it's a pretty light read:)
