The Wright 3 - Blue Balliet
This books was spectacular. Its a mystery about the Robie House, a house that is considered a work of art. There are strange things happening inside the house, slamming doors, open and closing windows, weird voice. There isn't supposed to be anybody inside because the house is considered hazardous. It is going to be knocked down soon. 3 kids have to solve the the mystery inside house while at the same time trying to save it from being knocked down.
My favorite character, Calder, loves to solve all kinds of puzzles. He always carries a set of pentominoes in his pocket, which are like Tetris blocks. They can be made into all kinds of shapes. He also has to balance two friendships. His old best friend Tommy moved away for all last year and then came back, but he made a new best friend, Petra, over that year. He and both his friends have to find a way to work together to solve the mystery and save the Robie House.

this book sounds like a good mystery book. I haven't read many of those. this book is going on the TBR list.
ReplyDeleteIs this a sequel to The Calder Game? It sounds like it, so I might want to read this.

ReplyDeleteIts partly a sequel to the Calder Game and Chasing Vermeer because it uses the same characters, but it can also be read alone without the other 2.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really interesting. I like how when you describe Calder, you start with "Calder, loves to solve all kinds of puzzles." Because it tells you something about that character that is interesting.
