Captured in Paint

Paintings can stir emotions, but for Julia, emotions bring paintings to life...literally.




Ice Princess.




That's what the kids at St Peter's High call seventeen-year-old Julia Parsons, the girl who doesn't show emotion. But that all changes when Julia loses the protection of her late mother's charmed necklace, and the emotions that have been locked deep inside her are unleashed. Now, after years of priding herself on being calm, cool and collected, Julia is forced to accept two life-altering revelations-she can feel just as deeply as any other teen and her emotions can make paintings come alive.




As Julia struggles to control her ability, she discovers that her boyfriend, Nick, is trapped inside a mural that she herself created. She enters the wintry world to save him before it's painted over but quickly realises that a mysterious force is keeping Nick tethered to the work of art.

Unless Julia can learn how to harness the power of her new and unfamiliar emotions, they won't make it out of the painting alive.
