I love adventure stories for children, and I really love anything set in a museum. This book didn't disappoint! The voice is punchy and Cincinnati Lee is a character I think fiery middle graders will be able to relate to. I found myself wishing the specifics of the titular curse were explained in more detail, and the ending felt a bit rushed, but it was a really fun read overall. It gets extra points for all the references to classic works of art, literature, and music.

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins for this ARC!

This reminded me a lot of what I enjoyed about the genre when I was younger. The characters had that feel that worked well overall and enjoyed how they were used in this universe. Heidi Heilig does a great job in keeping the reader engaged and how everything worked overall.
