Reviews for London Art Chase
12 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the first book in a new series "Glimmer Girls." It is a family where the mother is a Christian Singer who performs all over the world. The family, three sisters Maddie, Mia, and Lulu are clever and fun yet have normal sibling issues. Maddie and Mia are 10-year-old twins. Mia is very outgoing and loves to perform, while Maddie is more of an introvert and loves art. Lulu is six and she's a handful who causes a lot of trouble but is so cute she gets away with a lot. The dad and a nanny, Miss Julia, accompany the family as well. This is a Christian series, but does not over emphasize it. There is a mention of praying, asking God for signals to show what he wants you to do as well as talking to him.
In this story the family is on a trip to London where Gloria Glimmer, is scheduled to perform several concerts. While the parents are busy with rehearsals and concerts the girls and their nanny go sight-seeing around London. There was a travelogue about London during this part of the story which was a good way to share information about London while enjoying the story. The trip on the double decker bus was fun, especially the part where Lulu is singing and dancing in the aisle, much to the embarrassment of Maddie, but the delight of the passengers. The mystery part of the story involves a painting at the London Art Gallery.
The main reason I did not give this book 5 stars was the part where Maddie snuck out of the hotel on her own to try and recover a stolen painting. All turns out well with her safety, but a 10 year old alone on the streets in a foreign country is just a bit too scary for me as a parent and grandparent.
Overall this is a great read for young girls, a little adventure, a little mystery, a little family dramatics, some good Christian morals and learning a little about another country. A great addition to a local library and definitely in Christian Schools, churches etc.
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
