Not my favorite of Ms Reiss's books but captivating. It had a touch of horror to it that put me off. Overall the story kept me turning pages. A nice bow to the good old days!

This book is about a boy named Connor who travels back in time to save his mother. Has some interesting information about a group of artists known as the magi. It was interesting to read about the models and the antagonist was scary.
