Under the Egg by Laura Marx Fitzgerald
This is an entertaining book in our intermediate section about a thirteen year old New Yorker, Theodora Tenpenny, but Theo is not your usual New Yorker. She lives in her family's two-hundred-year old town house where she takes care of her mother, maintains the family garden and is responsible for their flock of chickens that keeps food on their table.
In his last words to Theo, her grandfather left a mystery about a treasure that she is determined to solve, but the more she uncovers, the more confused she becomes. Theo soon realizes that there is more to her grandpa than he ever revealed to her while he was still alive. Unfortunately, time is running out and Theo needs to solve the mystery in hopes of finding the treasure so that her and her mom don't lose the home that has been in their family for centuries.
