By Laura Marx Fitzgerald, Author. When Theodora Tenpenny spills a bottle of rubbing alcohol on her late grandfather’s painting, she discovers what seems to be an old Renaissance ma sterpiece underneath. That’s great news for Theo, who’s struggling to hang onto her family’s two-hundred-year-old townhouse and support her unstable mother on her grandfather’s legacy of $463. There’s just one problem: Theo’s grandfather was a security guard at the Metropolitan Mu­seum of Art, and she worries the painting may be stolen. With surprising twists, heartwarm­ing moments, and historical facts, Laura Marx Fitzgerald creates the perfect adventure in Under the Egg. For ages 8 and up. Show more
