Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett
A stolen painting. A series of unexpected events. Two smart children. Petra and Calder live in a neighbourhood where strange things have started to happen. Seemingly unrelated events connect, a sharp old woman seeks their company - and a priceless Vermeer painting disappears. Before they know it, the two children are drawn into an international art sensation where no one is above suspicion. They must rely on their intelligence and a newly acquired knowledge of the artist Vermeer to crack an art crime that has left everyone baffled.
Blue Balliett studied art history at Brown University. She and her family lived year-round on Nantucket Island for many years, and now live in Chicago, Illinois, where she taught at the University of Chicago Laboratory School for the past ten years. Brett Helquist is the illustrator of the New York Times best-selling Series of Unfortunate Events books by Lemony Snicket. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife.
