Can you outwit a crazy Mona Lisa? Stop an evil Sculptor from turning you into a Lego statue? Save your school from a smashing, crashing, teacher-swallowing Glob Man ... on the back of a gigantic cat? Monsters, magic, flying, chases, escapes - it's certainly no ordinary art show at Bundock Primary School, where only the brave at 'art survive and what happens next is up to YOU With 22 possible endings HERE'S WHAT READERS SAY: "An engaging, super-fun read for 7 - 12 year olds. A Red Ribbon Winner and highly recommended." The Wishing Shelf Book Awards."Nice idea to combine art, adventure and a primary school life. I like that it aimed to young readers but does not have any 'teenager's' themes. My 9yo read it number of times and enjoyed different scenarios. Choose your own adventure is a great format to keep kids engaged in reading." May 13, 2017 Olya Sukhovskaya (Goodreads Reader) rated it it AMAZING. 5 STARS "The author really draws us into the adventure while taking us on an exciting rollercoaster of a ride around the 'art world'. Let your child lose themselves in this book, or its a wonderful book to read together, allowing your kids to select different pathways and outcomes of the art adventure. I recommend it " May 08, 2017 Cindy Alice (Goodreads Reader) rated it AMAZING, 5 STARS
Author Biography
M.A. Notaras has been writing for a long time and still has her story 'The Red Shoe' written in grade 2! Of course it didn't stop there - after primary school she wrote teenage broody poems, then an unfinished human/alien coming of age musical in her early twenties, plus lots of electrifying songs known only to her shower; eventually she plucked up the courage to enter The Sydney Writer's Festival's public entry competition "Write A Story To Save Your Life" with her 9 minute epic rhyming story "The Big Cheese" - and won! - making it truly the best evening of her life! Now as a mum, she concentrates on children's stories - and figures that if she can make her kids laugh or get scared, then she's on the right track. "The Art Show That Came To Life" is also available as a customised set for schools (including your own 4 teachers as characters, plus school & locality details) to encourage reading or as a healthy/educational fundraiser - for more information please visit www.myschooladventure.com. M.A. Notaras is based in Sydney, Australia, and that's why this novel is too. Happy Reading!
