Description:
"When Edwin Hodge discovers a priceless Picasso sketch hidden in a poster frame, he becomes an overnight celebrity, but it might just ruin his life"--
Review Quotes: Brief, fourth-wall-breaking chapters dive into the history and lore of Picasso, an information free-for-all that Gutman delivers with his signature snark and panache. Propulsive and entertaining, this is an exciting adventure of complex ethical questions and derring-do that centers topics such as decision-making and independence.

--School Library Journal
Tying all threads together with panache--even the afterword is a joy to read--Gutman delivers the goods. Middle-grade readers interested in art history or real-life heists will enjoy this fast-moving book, perfect for fans of Deron R.
