Welcome to Litsy!

1. Under the Egg is a fun MG art mystery!
2. Scrambled with “everything but the bagel” seasoning!
3. Fresh eggs don‘t have to be refrigerated!

This book is much better than the cover would lead you to believe! It‘s a great middle grade example of my new favorite sub-genre: historical mystery. My only complaint is flat characters (the mom especially), but the historical research behind the mystery plot was great!

This book was outstanding and I‘d recommend it to readers young and old! What a gripping, unique tale of an art historical mystery. Combine that with a story about a girl who is pinching pennies to support her family and who is learning to make friends and step outside herself and you‘ve really got a middle grades winner on your hands. I can‘t give away too many other plot points!

Ever since I "lived" in New York City for a summer anything set there is on my TBR pile. Loving this so far

I definitely have a thing for middle grade mysteries.

I enjoyed reading both Under the Egg and Where'D You Go Bernadette. I need to get cracking on Voyager so I can be ready for season three of Outlander.

Someone described this as "From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs Basil E Frankweiler" meets "Chasing Vermeer" and I agree. I love art mysteries and this is a really good one.

What I don't love is the cover. I have such a hard time getting kids to check this out. I think it's more the pallet than the art work.

Another fantastic read! I'm a sucker for a good art mystery, and I think this one has great adult crossover potential. Well-written and full of interesting art facts. I found myself completely invested and wanted to sit and read it all in one go.

This was such a fun little read! "If Dan Brown of The Da Vinci Code wrote middle-grade novels, this would be the one. " Kirkus Reviews
Yep, that about sums it up!! ?
