Wright 3 is the new book by Blue Balliett that follows Chasing Vermeer. It continues the story of Petra and Calder as they get caught up in a new mystery filled with coincidences and findings. But this time, Calder’s old friend Tommy has returned, and the threesome just doesn’t click. Both Petra and Tommy are jealous of the other’s time with Calder, and Calder feels trapped in the middle. The mystery in this book centers on Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece, the Robie House filled with strange angles, changing lights, and perhaps a ghost?
Balliett’s writing once again soars and carries the story effortlessly along. Readers will be captivated not just by the mystery but by the three main characters. The author has managed to create three characters each with individual quirks that make them even more real and perspectives that make the mystery itself work. As much as I loved Chasing Vermeer, I liked this sequel even more. Balliett has created a work of art once again.
Wright 3 will be released in April.

The New York Public Library presents their favorite Children’s Books 2005. I always love the multicultural aspect of this list. And the fact that it includes books that I have never read and now must try.
