(3) 4-6 Seventh grader Callie's problems at home and at her NYC private school lead her to play hooky to go to museums, where she meets Cassius, an "unschooled" ("like homeschooling...Except my parents don't believe in making lesson plans") African American boy. The new friends eventually work together to uncover a mystery related to Callie's grandmother. The narrative's poignancy develops slowly as this novel explores a number of tough issues.
