Mella wants to be more than just a chicken girl. She would love to be an apprentice, but only boys are allowed. She's been teaching herself. Her sketches are so good that an apprentice boy steals them and passes them off as his own.She gets mad at him, but she gets even when she is allowed to go to the market for Botticelli. She makes a good impression in the market, but the stray dog she finds ruins her work. How can Mella prove her worth to Botticelli?
My Thoughts: I really loved this graphic novel. I loved the unexpected friendship between Mella and Datus. I loved how they started to help each other learn. I loved all the art moments; they were fascinating. While females were not allowed to do many things; I admired how Mella stood up for herself. The ending was wonderful.
