About
the Book
From the author of
Exiled:
Memoirs of a Camel!
It’s summer, 1896, and Miles and his
brother Wick must spend it with rich, irritable Uncle Eustace, who wants to
purchase art for his mansion. Little do the
boys
know that their trip will take them on a perilous quest across
Italy and Germany, searching for their uncle’s missing servant—and
six curious woodcuts by the famous Renaissance artist, Albrecht Dürer.
Unwittingly entangled in a dark and dangerous plan, they must use their quick
wits, and a little luck, to save the world from an international ring of
conspirators.
KATHLEEN KARR
surprises her readers each time she finishes a book, as no two are alike.
Whether she’s writing about a 15-year-old boy settling in the Carolina
Colony in 1670 (
Worlds
Apart) or the U.S. Camel Corps from the viewpoint of a camel in 1856
(
Exiled),
she engages and exhilarates her readers. Her titles have been selected for the
American Library Association’s recommended bibliographies, Notable Books
for Children and Best Books for Young Adults. She and her husband, the parents
of two grown children, live in a restored town house in Washington,
D.C.
