Gary Hovland.
When Uncle Henri, tasked with designing a fancy chandelier for a Paris salon, falls short on ideas, his great-nephew Louis Alexandre, who narrates the book, becomes his collaborator. Set in the early 1800s, this imagined history of one of the Getty Museum's treasures will lose kids with its length, although the comical period décor will catch their eyes.
