The Calder Game
By Blue Balliett
I just finished the third book in this series about three kids who get wound up in art/math mysteries in and around Chicago. I like this series a lot. The writing is great. Sometimes the stories are a little outlandish, but I like the characters and the writing makes it completely worth reading. In this book they learn about Alexander Calder, a famous artist who created mobiles. They go to the Art Institute in Chicago to see his exhibit. It has me wanting to go to the Art Institute! I cannot wait for summer to roll around when we'll be off during the week and it will be nice enough to drive or take the train downtown. I'm so excited!
