New student Winnie has sensory processing challenges, but her wonderful teacher knows just how to make sure she''s a welcome part of the class. Winnie is the new kid at school, and sometimes she acts kind of wild. Her teacher says to her classmates, "Maybe Winnie feels the world differently than most of us. Why don''t we give her world a try?" So that week, when Winnie can''t stop monkeying around, the class joins her on the jungle gym. And when she''s acting squirrelly, they all go nuts on an obstacle course. When Winnie is being a bit of a bear, the whole class burrows into a cozy den for storytime. Soon, with the guidance of their loving teacher, Winnie''s classmates realize that sometimes we all feel the world differently, and that''s more than okay.

Una casa dai mille segreti, una collezione di quadri parlanti, e una ragazzina pronta a tutto per risolvere il mistero.

In 1929 New York City, twelve-year-old housemaid Martha O''Doyle suspects that a wealthy recluse may be trying to communicate with the outside world through the paintings on her gallery walls.

From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler meets Chasing Vermeer in this clever middle grade debut When Theodora Tenpenny spills a bottle of rubbing alcohol on her late grandfather’s painting, she discovers what seems to be an old Renaissance masterpiece underneath. That’s great news for Theo, who’s struggling to hang onto her family’s two-hundred-year-old townhouse and support her unstable mother on her grandfather’s legacy of $463. There’s just one problem: Theo’s grandfather was a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and she worries the painting may be stolen. With the help of some unusual new friends, Theo''s search for answers takes her all around Manhattan, and introduces her to a side of the city—and her grandfather—that she never knew. To solve the mystery, she''ll have to abandon her hard-won self-reliance and build a community, one serendipitous friendship at a time. “Uniquely readable, entirely charming, and a pleasure from start to finish.
