The Art of Secrets by James Klise

4.0

The various mediums through which this story is told really captivated me. Nontraditional storytelling is a rare art, kind of like the art piece at the center of the plot. I also thoroughly enjoyed reading a modern story of immigrants and their children; it gives a face to those who come to America to improve their lives during a crucial time when much of the political rhetoric has dehumanized these people. I loved the depth that came with both main and minor characters, each had their flaws along with their strengths. Overall I would say this is a great read for anyone who is bored by picking up title after title of cliches in the YA and teen fiction section of their library!
