Synopsis

Megan and Rhys are on a school trip at the National Museum, when they are transported via a painting into the Cardiff Docks of the 19th century. The novel is full of adventure as they cope with living in Victorian times, trying to help a young Italian find his brother who has fallen onto hard times after becoming embroiled in a thieving racket. Will they manage to find their way back to their own times? This is an original and entertaining way of using the national collection as the basis of an intriguing plot, full of twists, set in the capital city of Wales.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

It's fair to say that Sheila Harries loves books. In her career as a school librarian in Oxfordshire, she has had many years' experience of talking to young people about what makes a good book, and has welcomed great authors and illustrators such as Philip Pullman, Malorie Blackman, Caroline Lawrence and Nick Sharratt into her library to inspire and entertain. Now she has written an entertaining and inspiring book herself. The book, like Sheila, is based around Cardiff and reflects her love of history, languages, and art - and a good adventure. Living in Penarth, she is a frequent visitor to the National Museum of Wales which is where the novel opens, with a group of children on a school trip. It's a familiar scenario to her as someone who enjoys taking her grand children to see interesting places. She is also a keen traveller herself - but loves coming back to her garden and the cats!
