The Wright 3
By Blue Balliet
Spring semester at the Lab School in Hyde Park finds Petra and Calder drawn into another mystery when unexplainable accidents and ghostly happenings throw a spotlight on Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House, and it's up to the two junior sleuths to piece together the clues. Stir in the return of Calder's friend Tommy (which creates a tense triangle), H.G. Wells's The Invisible Man, 3D pentominoes, and the hunt for a coded message left behind by Wright, and the kids become tangled in a dangerous web in which life and art intermingle with death, deception, and surprise.
Excerpt:
The two of them had spent many years scrounging and digging and sorting – Tommy doing the spotting, and Calder the organizing. Tommy had kept most of the finds. Calder hadn’t minded. They were a team, and categorizing felt more interesting to him than keeping. When they’d both wanted something, Tommy was always generous.
