I loved it! It is such an interesting book. I love mystery books!!
- Anna, age 11
I thought the book was OK because in some parts it got confusing. If I however knew what the details were about I probablly wouldn't have read it.
- ZOOM Fan, age 11 of Miami, FL
I had to read this book for school and when I first saw the cover I said,"No way! I am not going to like this book!" We started reading it in class and when I went to bed, I had finished it. I loved it and reread it again and again!
- Jess, age 12 of Appleton, WI
I though the book was very intersting! The pentominoes part was pretting neat who ever though of the word anyway... We read the book with our grade at school and we got to work with real Pentominoes!!! They are soo cool!! They are awesome as is the book!
- ZOOM Fan
I like this book. It gets a little confusing, but I liked it. I normally wouldn't read a mystery book or one about math but this is awesome! Read it!!
- Anna, age 12 of Madison, WI
I love this book. I even have my own pentominos.
- Haley, age 11 of Peoria, AZ
chasing vermeer was okay. I was kinda confused with the pentominoes and the strange conections. Who would keep track of wierd coincedences like Calder and Petra did? Although it had some action I didn't think that it was the best book that I read over the summer.
- Keira, age 8 of Rockville, MD
chasing vermeer is the best book ever. 5, 000 toes!
- Zach, age 12 of Charlotte, NC
I liked it. I kind of got confused about the pentominoes. I also kind of got bored of it in the begining then it got better.
- Rasai, age 9 of Milwaukee
It was okay. But its not really my thing I mean I love a good mystery but this book was well boring because 1 I bet penemetos or what ever those things were dont exist 2 the pics were kinda weird and 3. what happend to the 3 people who got the letters? it all of a sudden changed to calder and petra! it was okay I guess but not my thing.
- Alina
I love this book! It's such a descriptive and unpredictabe mystery. It's also a very good and unique idea. I give it 5 toes!
- Lauren, age 9 of Newetown Pa, PA
i love the book sooooo much I could not put it down it was so good
- Marissa, age 13 of Wilmington, NC
This book is seriously sort of dumb. I mean, if you think hard enough, anything can seem like a coincidence, and the characters in this book are thinking way too hard and unlogically. The pictures are sort of ugly- all of the people have humongous noses. And the characters were so amazed that it could rain frogs in two different places. There is a know scientific explanation for this phenomenon, and it isn't all that amazing. That whole obsession with the "pentominoes" thing is so dumb. But I must admit that I would love to be in that teacher's class. All in all, this book is yucky.
- Sarah, age 12 of Peoria, AZ
I love it! It's the best book ever! It's so exciting! I've also read the sequels, "The Wright 3" and "The Calder Game". They just keep getting better!
- Courtney, age 11 of San Antonio, TX
The best book ever!!! It is so myserious, and it kept me on the edge of my seat!!!
- Clare, age 11 of Geneseo, IL
I didn't like this book because it made no sense whatsoever. What are pentominoes? I'll bet that no one anywhere knows how they work and even what they are.
- Keishanne, age 12
I love this book. It's amazing the way all these mysteries and odd coincedences come up everywhere, and how there never exzctly "solved". I like the way the characters grow and develop, and I think it's a really exciting book.
- Tiffany, age 12 of Cocoa, FL
Awesome, it was such a complex book and it a thrill ride all over. Its like, something amazing is about to happen then, poof its not what you think. It ends up happening at the end and the person charged isnt the teacher, the old woman, or the man...
- Lily, age 9 of Chicago, IL
It was an awesome book! It was a mystery and I love mysteries!
- Megan, age 11 of Guelph, ON
I don't like chasing Vermeer! It's so boring!
- Hannah, age 10 of Cazenovia, IL
Awesome! I love all books, but this was one of the best. The way it deals with the patterns and everything is so cool! I've read this book five times and heard it on tape. If you haven't read it, you are missing out!
- Sarah of Canal Winchester, OH
It's not my thing because in the beginning it just skips from the three people who get the letter to Calder and Petra without having any idea whats going on, The book needs transitions so it doesnt leave you clueless.
- Sarina
This book is truly amazing. It's so much fun to try and solve the mystery before the end of the book. It's basically an appropriate version of "The Da Vinci Code". I truly loved it.
- Winnie, age 12 of Brampton, ON
I love Chasing Vermeer is so mysterious and each of the pictures give a clue to what the ending is. However I never figured out the clues of the picture. I totally love this book, I've read it thousands of times.
- Madeline, age 10 of Portland, OR
I would toatally give this a 5. Blue Ballett wrote a very witty, clever and exeedingly exciting book! Chasing Vearmeer was an awsome book and I recomend it to everyone!!!
- Patrick, age 7 of Alexandria, VA
It is very good. I read it a long time ago so I can't remember very much of it, but it was cool when they solved the mystery together with pentiominoes.
- Isabella, age 9 of Athens, OH
I love it so far.
- Maria, age 9 of Melrose Park, IL
I love it! Even though I'm only 9, I am at an eighth grade reading level. This book is fun! Did you guess the animal? Probably a frog! I give Chasing Vermeer a 5-star rating!
- Friday, age 11 of New York City, NY
Chasing Vermeer was one of the better books I have read. Though some parts did not appeal to me, I kept thinking, "Wow, the author is ingeneous." I especially enjoyed the puzzle hidded with in the book. Very clever!
- Siarra, age 11 of CA
This book is 1 of my favorites. I love the mystery and how it is a cliff-hanger (you never know wats going to happen). I also love the sequal The write Three its sooooo good.
- Zoe, age 10 of Amherst, NY
I loved Chasing Vermeer! It is such a good book, a good mystery!
- Amy, age 12 of Topeka, KS
I loved it so much. It had a lot of twists and turns in it. I like how the mysterious number was always "12". I was freaked out because I am 12 years old and the day I finished the book was Dec. 12th(12-12). I think everyone should read it.
- Sunny, age 13
I love this book, now if our not the thinker type you better put down the book, because it makes you think, but its great the way everything fits together. I like wright three as well simply because the shapes and frank loyld wright is something I love since I;m into that sort of thing so yeah if you don't like big thinking books, put it down. If you do, pick it up, you won't regret it.
- Jacob, age 10 of Waldorf, MD
I just love Chasing Vermeer! I think it is really cool when they use the pentominoes.
- Meera, age 9 of Encinitas, CA
I loved it!!! I can not wait to read the next one!!!
- Teresa, age 10 of Houston, TX
I didn't really like it much. Books should be for fun, not to make you think. The Wright 3 was way better. Eeurgh. 1 toe.
- Kimberly, age 10 of Trinity, FL
I loved this book because it was a wonderfully challenging mystery.
- Natasha, age 11 of Mississauga
Oh my gody!!! This book was sooo cool! The whole pentominoes was amazing! My math teacher told me about it. You know what im going to read it again!
- Mandy, age 12 of Lincoln, NE
I love it. Im almost finished with it. It is gettin so good Im readin it for an advanced readin group and we're almost done. We figured out the code and it kinda surprized me. I love this book and I give this 5 stars.
- Colton, age 13 of Topeka, KS
Its a great mystery that is surronded by art. In its sequel The Wright 3 it gets even better. Expect the unexpected!
- Elizabeth, age 12 of Rochester, NY
I love it! It's so mysterious! I learned a lot about art too. This is an amazing book!!
- Courtney, age 13 of Souderton, PA
I read this book awhile ago, but I plan on reading its sequel. The plot was so intricate, and although I didn't figure out the pentiminos code, the book as a whole was a treat. There was lots of interesting Vermeer information, suspense and twisting action.
- Halle, age 11 of Bainbridge Island
I really really liked this book because there was mystery and suspense and it really hooked you in. I also really liked the code because I wrote a message to my friends using the code in the book.
- Abby, age 11 of Chicago, IL
I loved it. It is set in Chicago where I live so I could be like, oh I know where that is. I found it really exciting and intresting. I love it!
- Sara, age 10
It wasn't really that great, I guess. I had to force myself to read on and I totally wasn't interested. It had a cool plot, but not really my kind of book.
- Gilary, age 10 of West Chicago, IL
I love this book 'cause it makes you think!!!
- Zoie, age 11 of Great Falls, MT
Chasing Vermeer really made me look at things differrently and expect the unexpected!
- Samantha of Mission Viejo, CA
I loved Chasing Vermeer! You never know what's going to happen because there are so many twists and turns on the story line. The story holds on to the reader and never lets go.
- Tim, age 11 of State College, PA
I was moving to Pennsylvania when I got this book. My teacher was having kids autograph the book so I'd have something to renember them by. It was the best book I've read!
- Shawn, age 13
I liked chasing vermeer. It is a good book even though I dont like books much but it was good.
- Beth, age 12 of Nazareth, PA
This book totally rocked! I started reading it and just couldn't put it down! The characters are lovable and easy to relate to, and I loved seeing what would happen to them next!
- Rose, age 11 of Essex Jct., VT
Chasing Vermeer is a superb book because its not just a fiction mystery like Nancy Drew but a mystery that's tied in with history. You learn about this mysterious artist who was an actual person. And the people involved are two people most unlikley to get together. This book might modivate you to learn more about Vermeer. In my opinion, Chasing Vermeer is a book that is almost in line with Harry Potter.
- Clair, age 11 of New Albany, IN
I love Chasing Vermeer. I give it 5 toes. I like it mainly because it is a mystery book and I love to read.
- Jessica, age 10 of CT
Chasing vermeer is a really awesome book!!! I love how there is a lot of patterns and just how they figure evrything out!!! I also love te second book... the wright 3!!!
- Liza, age 14 of Boston, MA
This book is very confusing but if you are a very, very, very, good reader than you will understand it!!
- Rachel, age 13 of Holliston, MA
I loved this book. It was a little hard to follow because the two kids kept finding conections between things. But, I definetly recommend this book. If you read it read slowly though.
- Marina, age 10 of Mill Valley, CA
This is one of my favorite books ever!
- Caroline, age 11 of Hershey, PA
I read about 20 pages of it and then put it down. It was so boring!
- Katy, age 11 of Miami, FL
I thought "Chasing Vermeer" was a good book. It was very hooking and intresting, I'd have to say that my favorite character was the old women.
- ZOOM Fan, age 10 of Fishers, IN
I don't usually like mysteries, but this book is awesome!
- Chris, age 11 of Mercer Island, WA
I love chasing Vermeer because it is very interesting, mysterious, and detailed. It also shows the true pact of friendship.
- Marissa, age 12 of Geneva, IL
I loved "Chasing Vermeer"! I loved it because it was a mystery book and I love mysteries! I also liked it because it was full of twists and turns and suspense!
- Reba, age 9 of Rosenberg, TX
Its my new favorit book!
- M, age 11 of La Crosse, WI
This book was pretty good it was about how two kids track down a stolen painting by following certain coincedences. Three Toes.
- Nicholle, age 9
It is very good but not the best.
- Ashley, age 13 of Bronx, NY
When I first started reading this book I wasent really interested... but then I had read it some more and it became really good! Theres alot of codes and it just the write book for and adventure.
- Sally, age 9
This book is so cool!!! I luv all the mystery and shapes and how they figure verything out!!!
- Beatriz, age 11 of TX
I love it because it's a big mystery and it's the best book I have ever read and if you have read it you know what I am talking about.
- Mia, age 11 of Fayetteville, AR
It was ok, and it would have been great but: 1. The author sort of seemed to have given up on the book at the end and given it a quick one. I think that she could have done better. 2. The coincidences seemed too un-realistic-fictiony. Im not saying it was bad, I just didn't like some of it.
- Jami, age 9 of Arlington, TX
This book is awesome. There are so many patterns and mysteries, and it's just cool!
- Samineh, age 11 of Huntsville, AL
Chasing Vermeer is about 2 kids looking for a painting. Do they find it? Not telling!
- Olivia, age 9 of South Portland, ME
OK. I just finished it (What a coincidence!) and found it a bit weird.
- Kymber, age 10 of Chandler, OK
Chasing Vermeer is a really awesome book! I think it's cool how they can work out all those codes with shapes!
- Savannah, age 10 of Gilbert, AZ
I love this book. It is full of mystery and suspense.
