Chasing Vermeer is about two kids named Calder, and Petra. They have a rather strange(or at least to them) teacher this year. Her name is Ms. Hussey. She let the children in her classroom learn just about whatever they want to. When they focus on art, a priceless painting is stolen. The painting is called "A Lady Writing," and is by Vermeer. Of course, they decided on art BECAUSE of the stolen painting. Petra is hearing the Lady directing her to help. Calder carries magical shapes in his pocket that tell him things. Will Calder and Petra be able to find the painting before it's too late?
I liked this book a lot. It was interesting to see everything come into play. WARNING: you have to pay attention to every little thing in order to figure out who's the thief before it's given. Anyway this book was pretty good. I recommend it. It was 254 pages, and written by Blue Balliett. Here's a pic. of what the book looks like.
