 * Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett **

This a great art mystery involving a missing Vermeer painting, two kids, and a lot of unexplained coincidences. In this book two kids Calder and Petra are inspired to search for a stolen painting called //The Lady Writing// when they go on a school field to an art museum. They soon find themselves caught up in the mystery and intrigue of Vermeer and his paintings.

This an absolutely wonderful book for anyone who even sort of likes mystery.JCH

The Wright 3 by Blue Balliett

This is a wonderful sequel to //Chasing Vermeer// about three kids Tommy, Calder, and Petra, who are working to save a Frank Loyd Wright house from destruction by piecing together clues given by pentominoes, books, and dreams.

This is not as great as the first one, but it is still beautifully written.JCH
