Hardcover
Description
Praise For Noonie's Masterpiece…
BOOKLIST
Noonie[\\\'s]...pain and vulnerability are as evident as her belief in herself as an artist, and by the end of the story, she'll have readers in her corner.
DISCOVERY GIRLS
\\\"Fast, funny, and filled with Noonie\\\'s wild art.\\\"
KIRKUS REVIEWS
Filled with the self-absorption and longing that is a hallmark of her age, Noonie\\\'s rambling, heartfelt story will appeal to young artists who are, like Noonie, trying to find where they belong in their world or just their family.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With the help of Ms. Lilly, the eye-opening results of an art contest, and a humorous pep talk by Van Gogh and other masters, Noonie comes to accept both her eccentricity and her loving, if not ideal, family. Readers with similar worries may find this a rewarding, if not masterful, pep talk as well.
