Realising that her childhood in Siena holds the key, she secretly stows away on a car trip to Siena, with her new friend, Sarah.

one of my absolute favorites.
Suitable for young teen
This book is full of color and laughs. The best young adult book I've read in quite a while.
I love this book i couldnt put it down
A quite unbelievably eccentric English family, where every member is an artist and the four children are named for colors: Cadmium, Saffron, Indigo and Rose. Not sure if this is meant for children, teenagers or adults. Best to take it tongue-in-cheek.
I haven't read this book before, it never really captured my interest and I'm just clearing out my book shelf... hope you like it!
