Thirteen-year-old Moxie is threatened by gangsters looking for stolen property her ex-criminal (now Alzheimer's-suffering) grandfather hid for them. The goods: art stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990. Moxie and her BFF Ollie scour Boston for the art, bad guys hot on their heels. The escapade's far-fetched moments are part of the fun, and Moxie's narration is quirky and distinct.
