Harry Potter and Chasing Vermeer
I've heard from severals kids who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the last Harry Potter book. It is terrific so many kids are so enthused about reading.
I am wondering if anyone has read Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett. It is touted as a kids' version of The DaVinci Code. I have been enjoying it and I would like to know what kids think about it. The book takes place in Chicago. Two kids, Petra and Calder, try to unravel the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a famous Vermeer painting. I haven't finished the book yet, but I find it intriguing.
