INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(4) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Sargent Singer aspires to be an artist like his famous namesake. When his estranged gallery-director father invites Sargent for a summer visit, Sargent discovers that figures in the gallery's paintings can interact with one another--and with him. Full-color art reproductions may inspire art-history buffs, though explanations of art terms and history somewhat bog down a mystery plot involving art theft.
