A review by abigailbat
All the Greys on Greene Street by Laura Tucker
This is a richly emotional story about a young artist who's on her own after her dad leaves the country and her mom takes to her bed with a severe bout of depression. Young artists will appreciate the artistic detail as Ollie processes her feelings through her sketching. I loved the detailed sense of place as Olympia describes her NYC neighborhood. This is a moody read for kids who want to feel some feels. Although billed as a mystery, I did not feel that was a strong aspect of the book. Readers of other art mysteries may still appreciate it.
Hand to readers of NEST by Esther Erlich or UNDER THE EGG by Laura Marx Fitzgerald.
