Based on the books I've read so far, I've really enjoyed the Katie series by James Mayhew, and this title is no exception. While all the books have an element of fantasy in them given that Katie can walk into paintings and the paintings then "come alive" so to speak, this book has an extra air of the magical, which I absolutely love.
