Framed! by James Ponti*

This exciting mystery was a refreshing!  Wholesome relationships and admirable characters.
I first read about it on Modern Mrs. Darcy blog post. 
Florian Bates has just moved to Washington, D.C. from Italy.  Before school begins he meets Margaret, a fierce soccer player, and he also becomes involved with  the F.B.I. 
Florian's father designs security systems and his mother is an art conservator.  Growing up with in the same house as them,  helped him to develop TOAST (the Theory Of All Small Things) where one adds up small details to reveal a larger truth.  When he teaches TOAST to Margaret, they observe some suspicious behavior in the art museum.  When some valuable art is stolen, Florian shares his observations, and as a result, finds himself helping the FBI!
Part of a series (#2-Vanished, #3-Trapped).
I would like to read this book aloud to my ten year old son.
*Highly recommend.
