Petra and Calder are after one of the world's most famous paintings--A Lady in Waiting. Many people are after this priceless painting, but with Petra's dreams and Calder's pentominoes, they're one step ahead of everyone else!
The famous Vermeer painting, A Lady in Waiting, is in trouble and Petra Andalee and Calder Pillay are going to save it. The only way to save it is to find it first. Petra has weird dreams about the painting that give them clues. Calder has puzzle letters called pentominoes that do the same. A few people along the way like Ms. Hussey and Mrs. Sharpe help them too. Will they beat the real thieves to the painting?
I like the book's setting because it has a lot more than one. The book ends up taking place wherever the mystery takes them.
I wouldn't necessarily recommend Chasing Vermeer. The author's style is slow moving. However, it does get better towards the end. It's a little bit hard to follow too.
