Moxie And The Art Of Rule Breaking (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
First, I waited till a little after midnight, to ensure Mom had conked out, so I could do a quick search of some of the random storage areas in our house. I was pretty sure that Grumps wouldn’t have packed up zillions of dollars of art and stuck it in our eaves, but, as Nini says, “Why jump over the fence when your own backyard bears exploring?” So I grabbed my flashlight and hit the cupboard under the stairs (no wizard boy or stolen art—just our winter jackets, clothes, and Christmas decorations) and the eaves storage in the hallway outside my bedroom (dusty boxes wrapped in green-and-white twine labeled TAX RECEIPTS, ANNE’S ROOM, and MISC—HOUSEHOLD.) Although in theory Grumps could have hidden at least some of the Gardner art in one or two of the boxes, it didn’t seem likely. Mom and Nini did actually put stuff in there, and I didn’t think Grumps would take the chance that they’d accidentally find something they weren’t supposed to. I crept out from the eaves as quietly as possible, closing its Hobbit-door behind me, and clicked the flashlight off.
