Synopsis: Nearly-nine-year-old Caroline isn't at all sure she'll enjoy her first visit with her father and his new wife and stepson, Hector, in San Antonio. And she is decidedly unhappy when her father can't be with her on her first day there. He still has to give his last exam at the university where he teaches art. Perhaps Caroline's visit is a real mistake. Then one of her father's art students brings an oil painting to the house, and Caroline uncovers it out of curiosity. She and Hector are suddenly pulled into the painting, a dangerous maze filled with mythic creatures, like a mermaid, the Minotaur, and the Sphinx, all of whom try to prevent them from escaping. How Caroline and Hector challenge these creatures and try desperately to wend their way home out of the painting makes a highly original, totally absorbing story, full of drama, danger, and also humor.
