How to Steal the Mona Lisa

At Mia’s new school, the lack of art is criminal. It’s The Thomas Crown Affair meets the Da Vinci Code in a Tom Gates package. With a usual suspects ending! Unlike most parents, Mia’s parents are delighted to find out that the local secondary school’s art department has lost its funding and will close down. Mia loves art, just like her Granny, but her parents are dead-set against her ‘wasting her time’ with anything creative. To make matters worse, Mia’s already a laughing stock at school for having believed one of her (now-former) best friend Jake’s cockamamie conspiracy theories about the local optician and trying to get everyone to destroy their lenses. But there’s more to this school than meets Mia’s (still-blurry) eye.
