With the help of some unusual new friends, Theo's search for answers takes her all over Manhattan and introduces her to a side of the city-and her grandfather-that she never knew.

But Theo’s late grandfather was a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and if the painting is as valuable as she thinks it is, then her grandfather wasn't who she thought he was. So, when Theo discovers a painting in the house that looks like a priceless masterpiece, she should be happy about it. Theo is responsible for tending the family's two-hundred-year-old town house, caring for a flock of unwieldy chickens, and supporting her fragile mother, all on her grandfather’s legacy of $463. Only two people know about the masterpiece hidden in the Tenpenny home. What's hiding under the egg? A mystery for readers who lovedĬhasing Vermeer and From the Mixed-Up Files of Basil E.
