Looking for a fiction book with an art connection?? Try reading Masterpiece by Elise Broach. Here's the blurb on the back of the book:
"Marvin lives with his family under the kitchen sink in the Pompadays' apartment. He is very much a beetle. James lives with his mother, stepfather and baby brother in New York City. He is very much an 11 year old boy.
After James gets a pen-and-ink set for his birthday. Marvin surprises him by creating an elaborate miniature drawing. James gets all the credit for the picture, and before these unlikely friends know it, they're caught up in an art heist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that could lead them to a famous long-lost drawing by Albrecht Durer. But James can't go through with the plan without Marvin's help. And that is where things get really complicated (and interesting!)
This fast-paced mystery about stolen art, forgery, and friendship will have readers at the edge
of their seats as they root for boy and beetle!"
If you are interested, let me know and you can borrow my copy OR check it out from the library.
