Reviews
"Served well be Watkinson's graceful translation, Matti draws an exceptionally sensitive portrait of introspective Linus and his understanding of what war is and what it does to its victims, as Albie's letters home grow increasingly sober. She avoids the temptation to pump up the story's action with gratuitous violence; the events of the book are low-key enough that the focus stays on Linus. It's a quiet novel, but a deeply touching one." -- Publishers Weekly "A poignant story of art, growth and loss." -- Kirkus Reviews "Written with clarity and simplicity, this accessible book features deftly drawn characters and a nuanced view of family life on the American home front, as well as insights into Mondrian's personality and painting. An original ." -- STARRED REVIEW, Booklist "This is a top-notch historical novel." -- The Fourth Musketeer Blog, Winner of the 2014 Mildred L.

[...] A poignant story of art, growth, and loss." -- Kirkus Reviews "I would highly recommend this book because it is very well written dealing with real life issued in a positive way -- great for ages 9 and up." -- Region XI Librarian's Review Committee, Ft. Worth, Texas "This is a top-notch historical novel." -- The Fourth Musketeer Blog "This gently paced coming-of-age story effectively captures the period details of Linus' neighborhood during the war, especially the strong pull of a close, hard-working family and the fear they share for Albie's safety mingled with pride over his service. Linus' artist friend, who turns out to be Piet Mondrian, rounds out the emotional landscape with his unbridled optimism about a glorious future after the war, a future of light and color and progress that he knows he will never see, but that he hopes his work will help bring about. His talks with Linus elicit the pull of hope that Linus needs to help him sort through his feelings about the war and growing up; both the vagueness and the tenor of his emotions are spot on for Linus's age and situation. While this isn't action-packed, it will appeal to artistic, imaginative souls who nurture their own superhero fantasies and believe in the power of art to see them through uncertain times." -- The Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books , May, 2013 "...this Dutch import by the author of Departure Time presents a fresh and immediate portrait of the time and place." -- The Horn Book Review, Winner of the 2014 Mildred L.
