Maureen Stevenson wants to belong. She left her native Ireland and lost her parents. Now she's trying to fit into her adoptive family in the United States. While she makes that adjustment, she finds herself caught up in a mystery: Who is stealing artwork from the mansion of old Mrs. Hoag, the eccentric widow who pays Maureen to help catalog her collection? As the eleven-year-old stumbles over clues to the burglaries, she makes plans to become a U.S. citizen--and enjoy the full benefit of the heaven-blessed "land of opportunity."
Let the Sister's In Time series take you back to 1903--where you may find that MaureenStevenson isn't that much different than you! Recommended for ages 8 to 12.
