Juvenile Fiction. Juvenile Literature. Mystery. Historical Fiction. HTML:A riveting historical art mystery for fans of Chasing Vermeer and The Westing Game, set in the Roaring Twenties!

It's 1929, and twelve-year-old Martha has no choice but to work as a maid in the New York City mansion of the wealthy Sewell family. But, despite the Gatsby-like parties and trimmings of success, she suspects something might be deeply wrong in the householdâ??specifically with Rose Sewell, the formerly vivacious lady of the house who now refuses to leave her room. The other servants say Rose is crazy, but scrappy, strong-willed Martha thinks thereâ??s more to the storyâ??and that the paintings in the Sewellâ??s gallery contain a hidden message detailing the truth. But in a house filled with secrets, nothing is quite what it seems, and no one is who they say. Can Martha follow the clues, decipher the code, and solve the mystery of whatâ??s really going on with Rose Sewell?

Inspired by true events described in a fascinating authorâ??s note, The Gallery is a 1920s caper told with humor and spunk that reader

Historical YA fiction with a plucky heroine and lots of twists in the plot. Great fun! ( )
  ajrenshaw99 | Sep 1, 2023 |
This book far exceeded my expectations. I went into this book knowing only this:

An eccentric recluse.

A self-absorbed newspaper magnate.

A shady footman.

A mansion with a secret.

And one girl who has the moxie to see everything for what it is.

That was all I had to go by. Once I realized this was a middle grade novel I had picked up at the library, I was not sure what I would think of it. I am an avid YA reader, but I have not read a younger book since I was a kid, so this was a new experience for me.

This novel has art (as an AP art history student, I loved this), it was set in the late 1920's in New York City (one of my fave time periods), and it had a lot of mystery. This novel had so many elements that I really enjoyed. I was so pleasantly surprised by this.

The characters were what was expected but at the same time, they were the complete opposite of expected. This whole novel is so intriguing, I loved the twists and turns.

I so recommend this!

I can not wait to continue reading middle grade. ( )

Per una volta, un romanzo che si è rivelato esattamente quello che mi aspettavo che fosse: un gradevole mystery per ragazzi, che non nasconde gli intenti didascalici ma li accompagna ad una trama avvincente e ad un'ambientazione che riesce a farci percepire appieno l'atmosfera tumultuosa dell'America alla vigilia della grande depressione, tra proibizionismo e disordini sociali.
I personaggi sono tutti abbastanza stereotipati (il cattivone, la mamma burbera ma saggia ecc...), fa eccezione solo la protagonista; Martha è una dodicenne di bassa estrazione sociale che si comporta come tale e non un adulto in miniatura, un piccolo genio o un angioletto: è scansafatiche, ignorante ed immatura e trovo realistico che nonostante il coraggio e l'intraprendenza il suo contributo alla risoluzione finale sia pressoché nullo.
A proposito del finale devo dire che forse è un po' troppo semplicistico, un happy ending senza se e senza ma che capita all'improvviso e mette a dura prova la nostra sospensione dell'incredulità, però è pur sempre un libro per bambini quindi ci sta abbondare coi buoni sentimenti.
Nel complesso un romanzo che non fa mai dimenticare neanche per un minuto il target di riferimento, ma che comunque è piacevole da leggere anche per un adulto. ( )

Not really what I expected. Thought it would be more of a mystery with clues and suspense but there really were only two or three clues that didn't really lead anywhere. ( )

It was a 2.5 read fir e. I couldn't get into the other characters besides Martha. It was also so slow. ( )
