Under the Egg by Laura Marx Fitzgerald*

Theodora is trying to survive in NYC after her grandfather died.  Her mother who is obsessed with proving theorems and drinking tea is not a help.  Then when Theo discovers a painting that could be priceless and. . ..stolen, her life changes forever and eventually for the better.
*Highly recommend.
Great plot-exciting, well-developed likable characters and fascinating history-art and WWII/Nazis.
Strategy: inferring-character development, character traits, synthesis
Warning: One Raphael painting which displays a scantily clad woman is described.
