Moxie and the Art of Rule Breaking by Erin Dionne

Moxie Fleece knows the rules and follows them--that is, until the day she opens her front door to a mysterious stranger. Suddenly Moxie is involved in Boston's biggest unsolved mystery: The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist. Moxie has two weeks to find the art, otherwise she and the people she loves will be in big-time danger.

Her tools? Her best friend, Ollie, a geocaching addict who loves to find stuff; her Alzheimer's suffering grandfather, Grumps, who knows lots more than he lets on; and a geometry proof that she sets up to sort out the clues.

It's a race against the clock through downtown Boston as Moxie and Ollie break every rule she's ever lived by to find the art and save her family.

Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies, The Complete Tragedy of a Girl Called Hamlet, and Notes from an Accidental Band Geek are among Erin Dionne's works. She used to break a lot of rules as a kid, and she's always been captivated by true crime stories. Erin enjoys watching Red Sox games and listening to local Boston bands when she is not writing about the miseries, mysteries, and magic of middle school or teaching Liberal Arts at a small college north of Boston. She resides in Framingham, Massachusetts, with her husband and two children.
