The First Featured Bok for the Book Nook club is......
Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett
"When a book of unexplainable occurrences brings Petra Andalee and Calder Pillay together, strange this start to happen: Seemingly unrelated events connect, an eccentric old woman seeks their company, and an invaluable Vermeer painting disappears. Before they know it, the two find themselves at the center of an international art scandal, where no one- neighbors, parents, and teachers- is spared from suspicion. As Petra and Calder are drawn into a mysterious labyrinth, they must rely on their intuition, problem-solving skills, and knowledge of Vermeer. Can they decipher a crime that has left even the FBI baffled?" reads the blurb on the back.
