Discoveries
Amedeo Kaplan dreams of discovering something -- some treasure no one
realizes is there until he finds it. And he would like to discover a
true friend to share this with.
Improbably, he finds the friend in aloof, edgy William Wilcox. And even
more improbably, he finds his treasure among the memorabilia in the
house of his eccentric neighbor, Mrs. Zender. But Amedeo and William
find more than treasure -- they find a story that links a sketch, a
young boy's life, an old man's reminiscence, and a painful secret dating
back to the outrages of Nazi Germany. And they discover unexpected
truths about art, friendship, history, heroism, and the mysteries of the
human heart.
