Review: 

Gumluck's adventures are always a delight to read and this one is one of the best in the series so far. I love the dynamic between Gumluck, Helvetica, Helvetica's children, and Butterscotch. Helvetica is a great narrator for these tales and I enjoy her voice. She brings a lot of the humor into the story by the way she tells it. 

The focus of this tale was on art and the mystery of who stole a painting. It is full of so much heart and humor just like the others in the series. The illustrations were great as always. I especially enjoyed seeing the various paintings the characters made at the art class. Also, Butterscotch's little detective hat was adorable. 
 

The Story of Gumluck and the Portrait Thief is another perfect tale to pick up for your younger reader, whether for them to read it themselves or for you to read with them. I highly recommend this series it is a great one. 

*Thank you to NetGalley, Chronicle Books, and Adam Rex for my ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.* 

Book Covers Featuring Autumnal Colors

    

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 

Book Covers Featuring Autumnal Colors 

Autumn is my favorite time of the year and one of the reasons is because of the colors. I love watching the leaves change during this time of the year and had a good time picking out the covers that were reminiscent of those colors. I have two lists of ten books, which are separated into books I've read and books on my TBR. Many of them have autumnal vibes in the plot along with the cover.
