Noonie's Masterpiece — Lisa Railsback

Noonie Norton knows a few things:

- She is a brilliant artist. The rest of the world just doesn't know it yet.
- She misses her father, an archaeologist who works on the other side of the globe.
- She doesn't belong with her actor/ postman uncle, dental hygienist aunt, and super dork cousin. Just because they're related doesn't make them family.
- If she wins the school art contest, her dad will come home. Pronto.
- The only problem? To win, she has to create a family portrait.

This debut novel, along with its striking illustrations, is a humorous and heartfelt reminder that sometimes the greatest masterpieces are the bonds that we unexpectedly forge with the people in our lives.
