Bookroo's summary
Clementine Wim witnesses a famous painting being stolen from the Capitol City Art Museum, yet it remains on display. With no one believing her—not even her curator mother—Clementine must unravel the mystery. Is it a case of mistaken identity, or is there a deeper deception at play? As she delves into the art world’s secrets, Clementine races against time to uncover the truth before the real masterpiece vanishes forever. Can she prove what she saw and expose the forgery, or will the truth remain hidden?
From the publisher
When Clementine Wim spots a famous painting being carried away from the Capitol City Art Museum, she knows something is wrong. But when she arrives at the museum, the painting is hanging right where it should be. No one believes what Clementine saw: not even her mother, an assistant curator at the museum, or her friends. It’s up to Clementine to convince the others and determine fact from forgery before it’s too late.
