The Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place
Margaret Rose Kane loves her uncles, their house and their garden, but holds especially dear the magnificent artistic towers that they've built and added to over the past forty years. After her Uncle Alex rescues her from summer camp and her cruel cabin mates, Margaret Rose discovers even crueler forces at work-the city council has ordered the demolition of the towers. Growing used to the idea of standing up for herself and what she believes in, Margaret Rose launches a plan to save the towers and art for art's sake.
