Chasing Vermeer
Do you like mysterious books? Then you will just love this book. This book is about a famous painting that goes missing two kids are out to find and return the painting to its proper place. They will do anything it takes to find that painting even get hurt?
I think the theme of this book is courage because the characters have courage to finding a stolen painting that no one can find. They still have courage even when they find themselves in a deep dark trouble of getting hurt? They have enough courage to sneak around at night taking the chance that they might get caught at any moment in their journey.
The most important characters in the book are Calder, Petra, and the very mysterious Johannes Vermeer. Calder is a weird guy who always carries around pentominoes. Petra is trying to be sneaky and reads lots of books. Johannes Vermeer is a famous artist. Whose painting goes missing?
In the end of the book Calder, and Petra weren't sure if this was real or not. They didn't know if the world was ready for more secrets or if so the didn't tell them. They were still shocked all this had happened.

Blue Balliett has written a spectacular mystery with tons of red herrings and plot twists. All this will glue the readers eyes and brains to the pages.
Petra and Calder are in their sixth week of sixth grade in Ms. Hussy's class. Suddenly Petra finds a mysterious book of newspaper clippings called Lo. It draws Petra and Calder into a mysterious mission to recover a famous Vermeer painting called a Lady Writing. They are helped by an elderly lady named Mrs. Sharpe.
I think this book is suitable for ages 8 and up. Personally I think anybody even a grownup will enjoy this wonderful mystery. I definitely preferred this book to it's sequel, The Wright 3.

In the book, the two main characters, Petra and Calder, haven't got to know each other yet, but they have more in common than they know. The setting is in Chicago, and the months are from October to December. It all started when three mysterious letters were delivered in the same neighbrohood about a crime.
Petra has always been different, and has few friends. It changes, though, when Calder and Petra notice that there teacher is acting weird. They start to become friends, and when Calder stops by her house on Halloween, he notices something about her coustume. Petra explains that she had a dream about the woman that she is too. As they bond more, mysterious things happen. Petra finds a book that belongs to a woman in her neigborhood, and more mysteries happen yet again.
When Calder is out on a delivery, he stops by the womans house, and finds a painting that he has on his box. He starts to like that the woman knows so much about the painting, yet is old and cranky. He finds out that the house is in the theme of a painter, Vermeer, who painted the picture on the box. The mysteries will come together soon!
In the morning, the painting that Petra was for Halloween was stolen, and their teacher is hurt! Did she get one of the letters? Calder and Petra get curios, and start to find clues.
