Thirteen-year-old Theodora Tenpenny wonders how she will support herself as well as her inattentive (possibly unwell?) mother after her grandfather's tragic death. His puzzling final words send her in search of what she believes to be a secret treasure, and she discovers what might be a lost masterpiece. Fitzgerald offers a gripping mystery with high stakes and a moving WWII historical context.
