Under the Egg

From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler meets Chasing Vermeer in this clever middle grade debut

When Theodora Tenpenny spills a bottle of rubbing alcohol on her late grandfatherâ€™s painting, she discovers what seems to be an old Renaissance masterpiece underneath. Thatâ€™s great news for Theo, whoâ€™s struggling to hang onto her familyâ€™s two-hundred-year-old townhouse and support her unstable mother on her grandfatherâ€™s legacy of $463. Thereâ€™s just one problem: Theoâ€™s grandfather was a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and she worries the painting may be stolen.

With the help of some unusual new friends, Theo's search for answers takes her all around Manhattan, and introduces her to a side of the cityâ€”and her grandfatherâ€”that she never knew. To solve the mystery, she'll have to abandon her hard-won self-reliance and build a community, one serendipitous friendship at a time.
