Summary
While spending the summer with her great-uncles, 12-year-old Margaret begins a campaign to protect the gigantic Tower Garden they have erected in their back yard. Built of scrap metal, shards of glass, and porcelain, the Tower is seen by most of the neighborhood as a collection of junk, but Margaret sees it as her uncles do-as a wonderful work of art. Will Margaret be able to save her uncles' masterpiece? A Kirkus Editor's Choice for 2004.

Media Reviews
"This story condescends not one whit to its audience, passionately confronting readers with the critical importance of history, art, beauty, community, love, and above all, the necessity to invest oneself in meaningful action. This it does with every word in place, occasionally indulging in dizzying linguistic riffs, always conscious of the ironies inherent in the acts of living and growing up."
-- Kirkus
"While the novels strikes a few uncharacteristically false notes toward the end, the author offers readers so much, so well, that her book is a veritable feast, amply demonstrating how intelligence can triumph over pretense."
-- Publishers Weekly
"It's rare to see, in a book for young readers, descriptions of art for art's sake....The actual legal drama to save the towers feels familiar. But Konigsburg's depiction of outsiders and outsider art is, like the towers themselves, a thing of strange beauty." -- Meg Wolitzer
-- New York Times Book Review
