Though girls cant be official apprentices to artists in Florence, Mella has been secretly teaching herself to paint while tending to artist Sandro Botticellis chickens.When one of Botticellis actual apprentices discovers Mellas work, he threatens to take full credit for it. Why does it matter who drew it if its good?With the help of unexpected allies, an important patron, and a tenacious stray dog named Blue, Mella must summon all her courage, smarts, and skills to prove her worth and demand the recognition she deserves.
