An Artful Escape (Rourke's World Adventure Chapter Books)

Grace and Jaden don’t stay in one place very often. Their parent's work takes them all over the world. But tagging along with their history professor mom and travel writer dad has its perks – including plenty of opportunity for adventure. France is teeming with wonderful museums, delicious food, and, of course, history. And Grace, Jaden, and their newest sister, Joy, are spending the summer in Paris! While their parents are busy working, the kids find a mysterious painting in the attic of the old home they’re staying in. But when they decide to track down the artist, a mystery begins to unravel. Could this painting actually be worth millions? Who is the guy that keeps following them? Danger is lurking at every corner. Can they find the answers and help they need before it’s too late?

Included are discussion questions, a delicious French recipe, and websites!
