This book teaches children a new way to interact with text. It is a mystery text that children can solve through the clues given through paintings. The Great Art Scandal is a tool for teachers trying to open students' eyes to important details in texts. These details are usually in the paintings, but the knowledge is transferable. As students analyze the mystery, they are studying famous painters and pieces of art. Comic book fanatics will be interested in the presentation of the mystery. The curator/narrator speaks directly to the reader causing the reader to become involved with the text immediately.
