Amedeo and William are helping Amedeo's neighbor Mrs. Zender move into a retirement home. While sorting her possessions, they happen upon a mysterious drawing. The novel attempts to sustain too many subplots and relies on contrivance, but the characterization of Mrs. Zender is Konigsburg at her best.

Margaret Rose Kane spends the summer with a pair of great-uncles who have devoted their lives to building three sculpture towers in their backyard. When a local group plans to have the structures demolished, Margaret Rose rallies a group of kindred spirits to save the towers. Konigsburg tackles some big themes without sacrificing her usual incisive characterizations and inventive storytelling.

A British au pair contends that thirteen-year-old Branwell dropped and shook his infant half-sister, a charge he cannot deny as he was rendered mute by the traumatic event. Narrated by Bran's best friend, Connor, this edgy, thought-provoking novel explores the mysterious web of complex emotions that surrounds the case and is written with Konigsburg's trademark wit and perspicuity.
