Rather simplistic tale of a girl staying with her Uncle while her parents are overseas on Holiday. While there she discovers that the magic Ruby opera glasses will transport her into any painting she looks at, and her Uncle is obsessed with searching for his long dead love in the works of the old masters. can Shey help her Uncle find his true love or will they be trapped in the paintings forever? Suitable for Grade 5-6.
