Fitzgerald, Laura Marx Under the Egg, 243 pgs. Penguin Group, 2014. $16.99. Language: G; Violence: PG; Mature Content: G.
After witnessing the tragic death of her Grandfather, whose final words were the clue to a mystery, young Theodora Tenpenny finds a old painting that might be the answer to their financial problems and could help her and her mother save their 200-year-old home. But with only a little over $300 to her name (and a mother with expensive tastes) her time is running out.
This is a great mystery! It reminds me of The Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. There’s lots of museum visits, and art history; some danger thrown in and even some WWII/Holocaust history. An excellent read for a middle school library. A well done debut novel!
