Melinda March and the Alizarin City

Melinda March is eleven years old when she arrives at Andersen Manor, her familys timeworn estate. The Andersens are an entire family of artistscolorful, inventive, and a bit odd. Her aunt Lizzy would mentor her for the summer as the latest and greatest up-and-coming artist in a long line of a family of artists. Her summer takes a magical turn when she finds an old painting that comes to life, transporting her to Arcadiana world beyond the paint. She finds a long-lost boy from the Andersens past and meets the people of Alizarin City, where she learns her gifts as a talented artist go far beyond the natural world.
