Klara can't wait to take the coach to Amsterdam for a class trip to the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Life for Klara and her older brother Nico has been hard since their father died. Nico helps their mother on their potato farm in the Dutch province of Drenthe, and Klara works at a bakery after school. Nico has dreams of becoming an Olympic skater, and Klara wants to be a poet. Klara feels left out by the other students at her school. Not only is she the only girl in her village with bright red hair, but she is the only student at her school who cannot afford to buy a bicycle. Klara is the first to board the coach; little does she know how her life will be changed by her trip to Amsterdam. Discover how the power of art changes Klara's life as she becomes the center of her classmates' attention at the Rijksmuseum and how she learns to appreciate her own uniqueness and the beauty of her home in Drenthe.
