Bookroo's summary
Cardiff can bring his drawings to life, a gift that runs in his family. But every Smith with this power mysteriously disappears, including his mom. When Cardiff encounters a lonely gibbon at the zoo, he faces a dilemma: use his gift and risk everything, or keep the family secret safe. What will he choose, and what consequences will follow? The stakes are high, and the mystery of the Smith family looms large. Can Cardiff resist the temptation to Draw, or will he uncover the truth behind the vanishing Smiths?
From the publisher
WHAT WOULD YOU DRAW? Cardiff has a talent for drawing, and recently discovered he can Draw with a capital D; the ability to make anything he draws come to life! Mom could Draw as well. Dad told him that all Smith’s that ever had the gift mysteriously vanish. Mom is no exception. But what good is having an amazing gift if you can never use it? When Cardiff meets a lonely gibbon at the zoo he gets an idea that might be taking it a step too far. The Smith Family Secret is a secret, after all.
