Reviews
"The magical rules created by Voskuil feel exciting . . . . This creative fantasy will move well with fans of Tae Keller's When You Trap a Tiger."--School Library Journal, "Art comes alive with the help of magic. Rising fourth grader Aleksandra 'ZuZu' Zieuzieulowicz and her new neighbor and classmate, Andrew Chang, are caught up in a return-from-the-dead vengeance plot when they visit a local haunted mansion. They find, in a secret compartment, a set of watercolors and drawing pens seemingly meant for them. The art supplies are infused with magical properties and produce visitons--animated, three-dimensional creatures--when the children combine their drawing and painting skills. Martha Mapleton, who long ago lived in the mansion, explains this to the pair when they bring her charcoal self-portrait to life by completing a missing portion. Martha's malevolent brother, Chester, has held a childhood grudge for a lifetime and beyond. He reanimates himself and numerous auditons--dastardly musical creations--with the assistance of a self-absorbed classmate of ZuZu's, intending to wreak havoc on his bully's descendants. Martha plans to stop him. Entertainingly inventive visitons--some informed by the imagination of ZuZu's younger brother--battle Chester's wicked auditons in an energetic, epic showdown. ZuZu, whose best friend moved away, feels like an outcast; the temptation to hold on to resentment is addressed subtly and with kindness. ZuZu reads as White; Taiwanese American Andrew's diagnosis of Crohn's disease is discussed in an author's note. A satisfying, compelling adventure with an original magical construct and bright, appealing protagonists."--Kirkus Reviews, "At an end-of-the-year party in a historic mansion, ZuZu sneaks away from her third-grade classmates to explore the turret room but finds an intriguing boy, Andrew, already there. Their introduction is interrupted by creepy knocking noises that lead to the discovery of a pan of watercolors and set of ink pens, which the two eventually realize have the power to bring their drawings to life. The delight is cut short when an animated portrait explains that her long-dead brother is also planning a return to the world--to seek vengeance on a bully (and town) that wronged him decades ago. ZuZu and Andrew must harness their creative powers in order to save their city from malevolent magic. It's an astonishingly creative story, carefully constructing a magic world with specific rules and hints of a larger organization behind it all. There are deliciously chilling descriptions of scuttling, otherworldly creations and resurrections gone awry, but there is also delight to be found in enchanted artwork and blossoming friendships. A thrilling introduction to a newfangled magic."--Booklist, "Zuzu is not looking forward to her first summer without her best friend who recently moved away. The hobbies they shared are not as fun to do alone. But when she has the opportunity to visit the historic Mapleton Mansion, she doesn't hesitate to go beyond the velvet ropes into the private rooms. While there, she experiences a meet-cute with a fellow student who feels just as out of place--the perfect ingredient to form a wholesome friendship. The pair stumbles upon enchanted art supplies that bring their creations to life. But when a villainous creator emerges, they will have to rely on friendship, artistic skills, and the unexpected development of their inner strength to combat the evil that wishes to consume their town. The magical rules created by Voskuil feel exciting and somewhat plausible within the characters' real worlds. Though the initial seed of the plot's conflict feels tenuous, the resolution and lessons learned overshadow the antagonist's questionable motivation. VERDICT This creative fantasy will move well with fans of Tae Keller's When You Trap a Tiger and Lorelei Savaryn's The Edge of In Between."--School Library Journal, "[A] complex and magical adventure filled with heart and imagination."--Karen Briner, author of Snowize & Snitch, "A satisfying, compelling adventure with an original magical construct and bright, appealing protagonists."--Kirkus Reviews, "There are deliciously chilling descriptions of scuttling, otherworldly creations and resurrections gone awry, but there is also delight to be found in enchanted artwork and blossoming friendships. A thrilling introduction to a newfangled magic."--Booklist, "[T]he reader will be drawn into the story though the fast-paced dialog and multiple points of view, all of which will keep them from wanting to put the book down. Students who appreciate stories involving magic will enjoy reading this book." --School Library Connection

Synopsis
Two friends must use their artistic abilities to save their town from malevolent magical forces in this action-packed adventure, A pack of paints, a set of pens, and unlimited creativity throw two friends into an enchanted, fast-paced adventure. ZuZu's first summer without her best friend is looking pretty grim, until she meets new kid Andrew at a visit to the historic Mapleton Mansion. Together they stumble upon some enchanted art supplies and discover that the shapes they draw and paint can come to life. Their creations are harmless--but ZuZu and Andrew aren't the only ones with access to magic. Soon, nightmarish half-machine, half-living creatures begin appearing around town, controlled by a power-hungry "caster" with a sinister mission. It's up to ZuZu and Andrew to use their newfound abilities to protect their community.
