Bettina Valentino likes art that jumps off the wall and hits people in the eye like wound-up ninja. Too bad she goes to shabby Laerskool Son-en-See, where the art teacher is always nagging Bettina to work neatly, clean her brushes, and “think pink.” But when the school hires a new art teacher, suddenly things start to get INTERESTING. Mr. Mathys walks around barefoot to soak up the energy of the earth, and he is full of inspiring lessons, such as how art can be used to challenge, shock and surprise. With Mr. Mathys around, Bettina’s life is great … until some parents try to get him kicked out of school. It’s time for Bettina and her art-loving friends to turn the messy situation into a masterpiece. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Niki Daly, a Hans Christian Andersen Award nominee, has written and illustrated many acclaimed picture books, among them the classic Jamela series.
