Genre: Middle Grades Realistic Fiction
Noonie lives with her aunt, uncle, and cousin because her archaeologist father travels a lot. Her artist mother died when she was very young. Noonie has proclaimed herself an undiscovered artist. I loved when she went through her blue or purple periods. She dreams of winning the school's art contest because she's sure this will bring her dad home. Noonie uses her art to help her understand what family and art is. I know this book is geared for upper elementary and lower middle grades, but as an adult I really enjoyed this book. The artwork is fun and whimsical and adds so much to the story.
