Synopsis: An eleven-year-old immigrant must clear her name when things start disappearing from a Boston settlement houseInnocenza Moretti&’s parents died in a fire when she was two. Ever since, she&’s lived with her grandmother and seven lodgers in the flat downstairs from her aunt, uncle, and cousins in a crowded tenement in Boston&’s North End. Innie&’s world changes when she and her cousin Teresa become members of a settlement house where immigrant girls can learn more about American life. Best of all, they&’ll get to participate in a library club. At school, Innie has to share books with two or three other girls. Having her own books would be like eating Sunday dinner every day. The girls&’ first assignment at the settlement house is unpacking books that had to be moved because of the recent fire that tore through the city. But now valuable things are vanishing: a pottery mug. A silver teapot. Money. And the prime suspect is Innie! With the help of Teresa and their new friend Matela Rosen, Innie searches for the real culprit. A secret tunnel under Copp&’s Hill Burying Ground leads them to a surprising thief. This ebook includes a historical afterword.
