one of my favorites
A really interesting plot, i enjoyed this book very much. It teaches kids to expand their horizons and look and things in a new light. Petra and Calder are fairly good role models except when they lied to their parents at the end. Overall a must read

Good story; good story. I had to read this book for summer reading, so I didn't really have a choice! The first 9/10 of this book is EXTREMELY mind-numbing. I could die of boredom! But, the final few chapters are very exciting and fun to read. The book educates kids about art and some math. The main characters are good role models, and it has good messages!

I think this book is very good .I love how how you can decode the messages going back and forth between Calder and Tommy.I hear this book will be a motion picture in fall 2011.P.S look out for hidden pentominoes inn the drawings.

An intriguing art-history-mystery combo
Chasing Vermeer impressed me to say the least. Math is involved, and contradicting what commonsensemedia said, I think Petra and Calder are good role models. They are determined, intelligent, a little quiet, and not afraid to be themselves. Yes, they lie to their parents and sneak out, but there are consequences to their actions (almost getting burned up inside a building). Both Petra and Calder are from a mish-mash of cultures and racial backgrounds, and it's really quite refreshing to see two unique characters in one book. Calder is pushed off of a slide and is hurt, but it's not graphic. A bully in their class makes some snide comments but nothing really to worry about here.
