“The
Alchemist’s Portrait is a delightful and charming read. The reader is not only
quickly transported to the quiet echoing hall of the museum, but back in time
to the height of the Northern European art scene of the 1600′s. I absolutely
loved this book! It is a definite contender for one of my favourite reads for
the 9 – 12 year old set!”
Greenwoods’ Bookshoppe, Edmonton
“The
Alchemist’s Portrait is guaranteed to keep junior readers in suspense. Its fast
paced plot will keep them reading to the end. This is a good acquisition for
any library or private collection and might well augment a classroom reading
program. Those who study fantasy as a literary genre might well add The
Alchemist’s Portrait to their teaching repertoire.”
