| I first checked out this book from the library thinking, "Eh. Just something for reading points." Well, let me tell you something. I WAS WRONG!!! This book is about to 6th graders who try to find the missing Vermeer painting, A Lady Writing. The story takes you through twists and turns and has a deep plot. I finished it in two days. Some people may say that this is not the best story, but I am living proof that THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR GREAT STORIES WHATSOEVER!!!! Take my advice and READ ... Read More: |

| I read this book after my 12-year old grandson offered his opinion of it. I ended up agreeing his assessment: The first third, or so, is quite boring. After that point the book became engrossing and entertaining. |

| I first learned of Blue Balliett with the publication of her second book "The Wright Three". As a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, I was intrigued by the premise. I have not read the previous book, "Chasing Vermeer", which features Calder and Petra as amateur sleuths, but I definitely will after finishing this book. Balliett is a gifted storyteller, perhaps too intelligent for run-of-the-mill children's books, so it's a good thing that "The Wright Three" is anything but common.
The story begins with ... Read More: |

| This book was a page-turner right from the beginning. This is quite simply one of the best ghost story collections I have ever read, especially for one that is concerned with such a concise regional area. The stories are well varied, the writing is snappy and moves right along, and the storytellers keep nicely to the point. There's no embellished fluff or rehashing of old legends here. ALL of these stories are first-hand accounts witnessed by contemporary people. Some of these tales will make you smile, some will ... Read More: |

| 5.The Ghosts of Nantucket: 23 True Accounts by: Blue Balliett 1984-06 |

| This is the best true accounts ghost story book I have ever read and I have been reading them since I was ten( I'm now 50). I don't know what universe Blue Ballitt wandered into when she was writing this but it has a real ring of authenticity to it and the stories are sometimes so downright strange-- A Red Freind comes particularly to mind--that the very bizarreness argues for some sort of belief. My favorite story and the scariest true life story ever is A Little Girl. Yikes. It is creepy. Not M.R. James with his strange ... Read More: |

| I made the mistake of reading this book while staying in Nantucket in a 200 year-old house. Reading about the hauntings (one of which occured in the house next to where I was staying) got my mind over-active. A guitar in the hallway would inexpicably "ping". One door refused to stay shut -- even though the unlevel floor would have made it more likely for it to remain closed. Oh yes, I suffered during that week. Running up the stairs at night to seclude myself in the bedroom. Did this book make me believe? I ... Read More: |
