Description
Theodora Teapenny lives in New York with her eccentric mother and grandfather who spends his time teaching her everything he knows about art. One day, after his untimely passing, Theo mistakenly spills some alcohol onto a painting, only to discover that there is a very different, very old painting hidden underneath! While this could be very exciting (and very good financially for Theo's struggling family), she can't help but wonder if the painting is stolen. She's not the only person that questions that. Now Theo and her strange new friend are suddenly launched into a mystery of giant proportions where they must find the truth about the painting as well as clear any air around her grandfather's name. This highly-engaging story blends history, mystery, art and more in a fun, exciting tale set in the Big Apple. 247 softcover pages. Laura

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 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 cityand her grandfatherthat 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.
