SLJ Nov. KIRWAN, Anna. Searching for the Past. 182p. ISBN 0-439-71010-3. LASKY, Kathryn. Dancing Through Fire. 172p. ISBN 0-439-71009-X. ea vol: (Portraits Series). Scholastic. 2005. pap. $9.99. LC number unavailable. Gr 4-6-These series titles create backstories for the young women who posed for great artists. Past immediately draws readers into Aurelia's story. Shipwrecked and orphaned at the age of five, she was raised in Boston by an increasingly senile woman and her predatory nephew. Fleeing to Townsend, MA, she finds work with a kind family. Her mysterious past continues to haunt her, though she quickly becomes involved in the community. When Winslow Homer arrives to visit his family, Aurelia's tangled past becomes unraveled. Keeping the many characters straight may be confusing for some readers, but the scenes of Aurelia posing for the artist are beautifully integrated with the plot. The portrayal of town life is deep, compelling, and gently humorous. Fire introduces the model for Degas's L'Etoile. Sylvie, a young student at the Paris Opera Ballet School, grows up amid the uncertainty of the Franco-Prussian War. When bloody battles rage throughout the city, she is drawn into the real world for the first time in her life. After witnessing the horror, she must decide if she can ever return to the magic of the stage. This typical ballet story becomes an exciting coming-of-age tale. Fans of dance will be engrossed, while others may have difficulty getting past the jargon to find the fine work within.-Christina Stenson-Carey, Albany Public Library, NY Booklist 12/1/05 Lasky, Kathryn. Dancing through Fire. 2005. 160p. Scholastic, paper, $9.99 (0-439-71009-X). Gr. 4¿. From the promising new Portraits series, this historical novel takes place in the 1870s in Paris, where Sylvie is a "little rat," or young pupil of the Paris Opera Ballet. She strives to dance well and to grow three-quarters of an inch so that she can join the ballet, while her widowed mother takes in laundry to make ends meet. When war comes to Paris, it brings hardship, hunger, death, and occasionally the closing of the opera house. To Sylvie, this period of upheaval brings challenges and loss but also growth in understanding and independence, as well as inches. The artist Degas makes cameo appearances, and one of his paintings is used on the cover. Though readers may be unfamiliar with this historical period, they will be swept along by the strong story line. Young dancers will particularly enjoy the evocative passages when Sylvie is on stage or in class. Link this to Carolyn Meyer's Marie, Dancing (2005). -Carolyn Phela, SLJ Nov. KIRWAN, Anna.

Of Flowers and Shadows. 2005. 182p. Scholastic, $9.99 (0-439-71010-3). Gr. 4-6. This new entry in the Portraits series creates a fictionalized story surrounding the young girl who posed for Winslow Homer''s Girl and Laurel in 1879. Aurelia is a shipwrecked orphan and servant girl for a family who lives across the street from the Homers of Townsend, Massachusetts. She catches the eye of painter Winslow Homer and agrees to pose for a portrait. Kirwan''s strength lies in her attention to setting and historic details and she paints a fascinating picture of late-nineteenth-century New England preoccupations including romantic poetry, sances, patriotic holidays, and parlor games. Homer is portrayed as taciturn but gentlemanly and a personal enigma. Although the happily-ever-after ending (in which, among other things, Aurelia is reunited with a wealthy and loving family) feels a bit contrived, this is an appealing story that evokes the feel of the painting. -Kay Weisman Kliatt Janis Flint-Ferguson (KLIATT Review, November 2005 (Vol. 39, No. 6)) Aurelia Sandborn is the young housemaid for the Sinclair family in Boston. She is an orphan, found after the shipwreck of the Aspiration on the famous reef at Norman's Woe. When the cook is sent into retirement by Mrs. Sinclair's lecherous son, Aurelia senses trouble and runs away, becoming the housemaid for the Ellicott family in Townsend, Massachusetts. Through a series of intertwining events, she becomes a model for Winslow Homer's painting, Girl and Laurel. Through that portrait and through her friends in Townsend, Aurelia is reunited with her family, who have been looking for her since the shipwreck Aurelia's story is fictional, but it is set in the real history of 1870s Massachusetts and is interwoven with what we know of the life of Massachusetts painter Winslow Homer, his brother Arthur and Arthur's wife Mattie. The novel is part of the new Portraits series. Each volume intermingles the history of a famous painting (the cover art of each novel), its artist, and the fictional lives of the people represented in the portrait. In this story of family identity and lost loves, we are treated to a creative look at Homer's Massachusetts. Category: Hardcover Fiction. KLIATT Codes: J--Recommended for junior, SLJ Nov.

I appreciate the book, and the price was good and they were open to offers which I liked. Unfortunately there were stains on the sides of the book and I’m just overall a bit disappointed in the quality of the book itself, I was hoping it would be better despite how old it is.
