This is so good, just make sure to finish it if you get it!

Review by anniepjlibrary

This book is one of my favorites, but some people find it boring! READ TO THE END. Once you are about a third of the way in it gets better and more exciting. You HAVE to keep reading. It will get better!

Okay

Review by Owleyes

I thought it was a little bit not my style and I couldn’t actually finish the book because I would pick it up but get bored. But I feel like it would be good if you like that style.

Under the egg

Review by JoyfulWookiee

It was so exiting! It was a little boring at first, but once I picked it back up, it kept me on the edge of my seat.In fact, it was so exiting, I HAD to read the next one, which is included as a sneak peak at the end.

When 13-year-old Theodora Tenpenny’s grandfather is hit by a car, his final words are about a treasure and a letter. Theo’s search through the family home reveals an old painting, which she suspects might be the work of Raphael, the Renaissance master. It could be the answer to all her problems. Theo’s mother is lost in her own brain, constantly distracted by an unfinished dissertation in mathematics, and Theo is trying to keep the family fed and the bills paid with the little cash her grandfather had. With the help of a new friend, Bodhi, Theo sets out to solve the mystery of the painting, and their search takes them across New York City. Eventually, she is able to solve the mystery of the painting and her grandfather’s role in it.
