Most Recently Read Book:
Chasing Vermeer
By Blue Balliett
This is the first book in this mystery series by Blue Balliett. I didn't realize this was a series and I listened to The Wright Three first, so now I had to go back and listen to Chasing Vermeer. I like this series about 2 (then 3) young kids who live in Hyde Park in Chicago and get involved in solving mysteries about art, in this case the Vermeer painting called A Lady Writing.
It's amazing all the thinking that Blue Balliett has to put into her writing. She incorporates art, puzzles, writing and exploring. As a parent, I think this would be a cool book to read, especially because I live in Chicago. There are fun places to visit, especially from The Wright Three but also from Chasing Vermeer. There are also fun things to learn about like Pentominoes. I would love to read these books with Jordan and play with Pentominoes. I'm not sure how she does it, but these books are very detailed.
Now that I have read Chasing Vermeer and The Wright Three I have to go read the third book in this series, The Calder Game, which was recently released!
