Okay, by now, you've probably figured out that I'm a mystery girl. This here, is my favorite mystery series ever, and Blue Balliet my favorite writer. She's written two other books, but that's not what I'm reviewing today.
Chasing Vermeer, The Wright 3 and The Calder Game. Art, Friendship, and mystery-solving combine to create a great mystery series. In Chasing Vermeer, Calder Pillay and Petra Andalee work together to find a missing piece of art by Jan Vermeer. In The Wright 3, Calder and Petra join forces with Calder's longtime best friend Tommy Segovia to save the Robie House, an old house next door to Tommy which was built by Frank Lloyd Wright. In The Calder Game, Calder disappears while on a trip to England. Tommy and Petra travel to England to find him.
All three books are populated with an AMAZING cast of main and supporting characters. There is no inappropriate behavior or bad language in any of the books. I do not suggest this series for undedicated readers. They can be a little hard to follow unless you really want to know what happens.
SHOUT OUT TO AMBER: I STILL WANT YOU TO READ THIS. I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN.
5 big stars for the Chasing Vermeer trilogy and Blue Balliett for a great series!! If you like this series, I highly recommend Ms. Balliett's other books, Hold Fast and The Danger Box.
Signing off!!

Blue Balliett has another book coming out in March. It is a companion to all of her other books.
ReplyDeleteI haven't forgotten, either! And I have an opening for books in my schedule, so... yeah. They're on the list. :D And I checked out The Danger Box once, but I never got around to reading it. So yeah.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't love The Danger Box as much as I love her other books, but it's still good too. I just ordered Chasing Vermeer with money I got for Christmas! But I have to wait nearly TWO WEEKS for it!!!! AAAAAHHHH!!!! The torture!!!!
ReplyDeleteAAAH! Okay, I'll try to get them when I'm at the library next. I promise. :D
ReplyDeleteYou have to request Chasing Vermeer from a different library. They don't have it at our library.
ReplyDeleteThey don't? How sad. Ah well.
