Overview

From the New York Times-bestselling team behind Chasing Vermeer comes another thought-provoking art mystery featuring Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie house--now in After Words paperback!

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.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
When last seen, young Petra Andalee and Calder Pillay were attempting to retrieve a 17th-century Dutch masterpiece; now the stars of Chasing Vermeer are using all their super-sleuth powers to solve mysteries connected with a modern Chicago architectural landmark. Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House is dire need of restoration, but the work can't be properly completed until a series of mysterious incidents are explained. Tales of ghosts, hidden treasures, and coded messages highlight this entertaining tale.
As she did in her bestselling debut novel, Chasing Vermeer, Balliett adds a new twist to the mystery genre, lacing her suspenseful yarn with puzzles, codes, and thought-provoking connections to art, architecture, and mathematics. Brainy, eccentric sixth-graders Petra and Calder return, this time teaming up with Calder's friend, Tommy, to help save a 1910 Frank Lloyd Wright house slated for demolition (hence the book's title). Their "minds fizzing with ideas," the curious trio uncovers layer upon layer of enigma: freak accidents, unexplained lights and noises, uncanny coincidences, and the discovery of a talisman once owned by Wright himself. Helquist, illustrator of the Lemony Snicket series, provides additional mystery, challenging young readers to find hidden images in his just-eerie-enough illustrations. (Ages 8 to 12)

From The Critics
Readers will be happy to see the return of Blue Balliet's memorable characters from her debut novel, Chasing Vermeer. Calder and Petra find architect Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House the source of their next great mystery and adventure. With the help of Tommy, an old classmate of Calder's who moves back to Hyde Park, the threesome team sort through clues, coincidences, and conspiracies as they struggle to save the Robie House from demolition. Their struggle involves triangles, invisible men, codes from Frank Lloyd Wright himself, and ghost voices. As in Blue Balliet's last book, this book will keep you reading caught up in the many strange and frightening circumstances facing the characters. Hard feelings between Petra and Tommy add to the tension of the story. The history of the Robie House, a masterpiece built for children with art, glass windows, and treasures to be found, is woven beautifully throughout the book. The Robie House's past is haunting, full of tragedy and secrets, but Petra, Calder, and Tommy bring the Robie House into a new light. This second book with Petra and Calder, and the effort to save another important piece of artwork, will not disappoint readers. 2006, Scholastic Press, Ages 8 to 12.

The Prophet of Yonwood
By Jeanne Duprau Random House Books for Young Readers Copyright © 2006 Jeanne Duprau
All right reserved.
ISBN: 978-0-439-69367-7

Chapter One The Inheritance

Nickie Randolph's first sight of the town of Yonwood was a white steeple rising out of the pine forest that covered the mountainside. She leaned forward, gazing through the windshield of the car. "Is that it?"

Her aunt Crystal, who was driving, put one hand up to shield her eyes from the rays of the setting sun. "That's it," she said.

"My new home," said Nickie.

"You have to get that notion out of your mind," said Crystal. "It's not going to happen."

I'm going to make it happen, thought Nickie, though she didn't say it out loud. Crystal's mood was already bad enough. "How long till we get there?" she asked.

"We'll be there in twenty minutes, if nothing else gets in our way."

A lot had gotten in their way so far. The Streakline train was closed down because of the Crisis, so they'd had to drive. They'd been on the road for seven hours, though the trip from Philadelphia should have taken no more than five. But long lines at gas stations, detours around pot-holed or snow-covered stretches of highway, and military roadblocks had slowed them down. Crystal didn't like delays. She was a fast-moving, efficient person, and when her way was blocked, she became very tense and spoke with her lips in two hard lines.

They came to the Yonwood exit, and Crystal turned off the highway onto a road that wound uphill. Here the trees grew thick on either side, and so tall that their bare branches met overhead, making a canopy of sticks. Drops of rain began to spatter the car's windshield.

After a while, they came to a sign that said, "Yonwood. Pop. 2,460." The trees thinned out, and the rain fell harder. They passed a few storage sheds, a collapsing barn, and a lumberyard. After that, houses began to appear on the side of the road-small, tired-looking wooden houses, their roofs dripping. Many of them had rockers or couches on the front porch, where people would no doubt be sitting if it weren't the dead of winter.

From a small brick shelter at the side of the road, a policeman stepped out holding a red stop sign. He held it up and waved it at them. Crystal slowed down, stopped, and opened her window. The policeman bent down. He had on a rain jacket with the hood up, and rain dripped off the hood and onto his nose. "Hello, ma'am," he said. "Are you a resident?"

"No," said Crystal. "Is that a problem?"

"Just doing a routine entry check, ma'am," the man said. "Part of our safety program. Had some evidence lately of possible terrorist activity in the woods. Your purpose here?"

"My grandfather has died," Crystal said. "My sister and I have inherited his house. I've come to fix the house up and sell it."

The man glanced at Nickie. "This is your sister?"

"This is my niece," said Crystal. "My sister's daughter."

"And your grandfather's name?" said the man.

"Arthur Green," said Crystal.

"Ah, yes," the policeman said. "A fine gentleman." He smiled. "You be careful while you're here, now. We've had reports indicating there may be agents of the Phalanx Nations traveling alone or in small groups in parts of the area. Have you been spoken to by any suspicious strangers?"

"No," said Crystal. "Just you. You seem very suspicious."

"Ha ha," said the man, not really laughing. "All right, ma'am," he went on. "You may go. Sorry for the delay, but as you know there's a crisis. We're taking every precaution."

He stepped away, and they drove on.

"Terrorists even here?" Nickie said.

"It's nonsense," said Crystal. "Why would a terrorist be wandering around in the woods? Pay no attention."

Interviews & Essays

A Conversation with Blue Balliett

What do you want readers to come away with when they read The Wright 3?

BB: I want readers to come away with a sense of the mysteries and possibilities that surround us, even in our everyday lives. I love to read books that grab my attention and make me think, "Who knows? Why not?" I hope my books do this. Plus, I want readers of all ages to feel inspired about their ability to make intuitive, intelligent connections, and to think their way through tough problems and challenges. I'm thrilled when I hear from kids that my books make them feel more confident as thinkers and doers.

Had you always planned to write this sequel? How did the novel come to be?

BB:When I wrote Chasing Vermeer, I wasn't thinking about a sequel at all. But after the book was finished, I found that Petra and Calder weren't disappearing from my mind. I wanted to give them a completely different kind of art challenge to work on, and so I began scribbling down ideas about a piece of art that you could walk into, a piece of art that wasn't in a museum. That was the beginning of The Wright 3.

Who do you think this book will appeal to? Do you have a certain audience in mind when you write?

BB:I am always thinking about how kids see things, and that's only natural considering I've spent the last 25 years with kids, both as a mom of three and as a teacher. My audience is kids, probably independent readers of 10 and up, but I also think my books are for thinkers of all ages. I was so interested to see that in Italy there is both an adult edition of Chasing Vermeer (no illustrations) and a kids' edition that includes Brett Helquist's artwork. Both have sold well.

It's amazing how you bring together such seemingly unrelated elements from Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House to Fibonacci numbers to H. G. Wells' The Invisible Man to questions about art. Did you ever worry that the ideas were "too big" for kids?

BB:I never worry about these ideas being too big for kids. My books can be read on a number of levels, just as the world can be seen on a number of levels. And I believe in introducing kids to intriguing ideas like centuries-old number sequences and legends about invisibility, because what you are doing is seeding ideas that can only grow --sometimes many years into the future, but to me this is what education is all about. And I feel that kids aren't given nearly enough exposure to the joys and complexities of the art world. Kids need more access to big ideas and big questions.

Do you have a favorite character? When you were a kid, were you like any of your characters?

BB: I think asking an author about a favorite character is a bit like asking a parent about their favorite child -- each character is special when you are focused on bringing them to life in a book. But if I were to say which character feels most familiar to me, I'd have to say Petra. I've always liked playing around with words and wondering about things that grownups think are impossible. Plus, when I was Petra's age I was shaped a bit like a lima bean and wore glasses.

    Great sequel to Chasing Vermeer!

    Book 2 in a series, this one deals with a house (which was built by a famous architect and is a piece of art) that is going to be torn down and given to many different museums. The three kids try to stop it.

    Not as good as the first one

    If I had read this book by itself I probably would have liked it more. But because I read "Chasing Vermeer" about two years before this and fell in LOVE with it, I didn't like "The Wright 3" all that much. It was well thought out but didn't have as many twists and turns as Chasing Vermeer" and relied more on something kinda supernatutal than the power of thought and discovery. But, all the same, I would reccomend it. Now I can't wait to read "The Calder Game"...

    P.S. The illustrations are FANTASTIC!

    Wright 3

    This is an absolutely amazing book, but would make most sense if you have read the first in the series, Chasing Vermeer! Like the first book your eyes will be glued, this is a sure page turner. This is great if you love mysteries and crimes. If you haven't read Chasing Vermeer I would suggest you do because otherwise it's a bit confusing and gives away the end of Chasing Vermeer. The main characters Petra and Calder are back with their old friend Tommy in an attempt to save the Robie (pronounced Row-bee) House, can they do it with the arguing over Calder?

    Great for thoughtful kids! (And parents will enjoy it, too.)

    This series of books teaches kids about art and architecture in a subtle way, with the history and background woven into the story. Also excellent on the friendship dynamics between kids, and how they learn to accomodate each other and use each other's strengths to solve the mystery at the heart of the story. We can't wait for the fourth book in the series!

    9 Year Old Son Loves It

    My son had to read Chasing Vermeer for school. He loved that so much he decided to read this one, too. He read it in less than a week and then asked to buy the next book, Calder Games written by the same author. If your child enjoys mysteries, he or she will enjoy this book.

    An intellectual thriller for kids and their parents.

    "The Wright 3" is a great mystery story -- a thriller, actually -- but it also succeeds in making architecture and mathematics understandable for a variety of ages. My three children (9-year-old twin boys and 12-year-old daughter) fell in love with this series and I was excited to know they were learning math principles that I didn't encounter until high school. I think they just thought it was fun. The characters are fascinating and the dynamic among the three children is so realistic. I love that brainy, somewhat nerdy kids are the center of this. In a time when people eschew intellectualism, this book is a blessed relief. I hope the series will continue past book three!

    By the way, the book also inspired us to check out books on Frank Lloyd Wright's works, and visit the local house his designed.

    Reviewed by Carrie Spellman for TeensReadToo.com

    Twelve-year-old Tommy Segovia has returned to Chicago after a year away, and everything is different. His old house is completely different, and he doesn't live there anymore. His best friend, Calder, seems to have a new best friend, and it's a girl! And, the city wants to tear down Robie House, the historic Frank Lloyd Wright home that has always been a fixture in their neighborhood.

    Calder Pillay is torn between his two close friends. He and Tommy have been best friends forever, but he and Petra solved a major mystery and crime together (CHASING VERMEER). They both have great and different talents, and Calder knows that if they could just all work together they could make an amazing team. Maybe even good enough to save Robie House. But it looks like he's going to be stuck in the middle for awhile. If only people could be more like his pentominoes. (Pentominoes are a mathematical tool, a set of twelve shapes of five connected squares. Calder keeps a set in his pocket; they help him think.)

    Petra Andalee is a quiet girl who likes her books and writing, and she can't figure out why Tommy dislikes her so much. She and Calder make a good team, and Tommy and Calder make a good team, so where's the problem? She's torn between wanting to prove herself and feeling like she shouldn't have to. Either way, she intends to find a way to save one of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpieces.

    Between Tommy's finding skills, Calder's logic, and Petra's unique analysis, they aren't about to let the house go quietly. Provided they trust each other enough. And the house might have a few things to say about it, too.

    There is A LOT going on in this stand alone sequel to CHASING VERMEER.

    Obviously there is the relationship between the three main characters, and the attempt to save Robie House. There is some Frank Lloyd Wright history, as well as Robie House-specific history. There is also mathematical figuring, and architectural oddities. There are even hidden pictures inside the illustrations. It also brings up some interesting ideas about the science of art and the art of science. There's so much happening that I almost feel like I need to go through the book a few separate times, looking at it from different angles.

    There aren't many young fiction books geared toward a math/science type mind. If you're that type, I think you will really appreciate and enjoy this book. And even if you're not, it's still a good adventure!

    The Wright 3 is an excellent book that contains a unique sense of suspense.

    Calder, Petra, and Tommy are out to save a work of art that seems to come alive (literally). Ms. Hussey, the trio¿s sixth grade teacher, tells her class to investigate the Robie House and find clues that can be used as evidence for why the structure should be preserved. The three students go to work. Unfortunately, this means they have to break into a dark house and risk their lives to prove a point. This was a wonderful book! The Wright 3 contains odd coincidences that happen in every day life. For example, the story Petra read titled The Invisible Man contained clues that helped save the Robie House. Another time, Calder pulled out three pentominoes that could build a wing of the Robie House when put together. Also, Tommy found a jade fish that resembled Frank Lloyd Wright¿s lucky charm. Frank Lloyd Wright was the architect that built the Robie House. This book had plenty of good characters. The tall man that seemed to follow Tommy everywhere helped build up suspense. Mrs. Hussey was a great character who believed that the mind contained infinite possibilities. Tommy created a problem in the story by thinking that he and Calder could not share Petra as a friend. Lastly, The Wright 3 had appealing settings. The fact that people were trying to steal artifacts from the Robie House added a lot of suspense. The Japanese garden was a good place for the three friends to relax. The art museum was an excellent place for Calder, Petra and Tommy to put together clues. In conclusion, this book was exciting and different from other books of its genre. J.Barton

    WOW .. i was impressed

    The Wright 3 was a really good book. It was short enough that I read it in about a week. It really kept your attention throughout, so it would be good for a young reader. I enjoyed reading this book more than the last. The Wright 3 is most suited for children ages 9-14. It was better than I had expected. :]

    A Mystery in Art

    The book Wright 3 is a great mystery. It is a sequal to another book by Blue Balliet, Chasing Vermeer. In Wright 3, three 6th graders are trying to save an old house built by architect Frank Loyd Wright.

    Wright 3

    If you really like mystery books, this one is for you. The Wright 3 is a great book for 4th grade and up. It is suspenseful, exciting, and very realistic. From the beginning of the book, you get hooked into trying to figure out how the three main characters can save Frank Lloyd Wright's famous Robie House from being demolished. So, if you want a good read, check out the Wright 3.

    The Wright 3

    I highly recommend The Wright 3 by Blue Balliett to anyone who loves mysteries. A famous architect built the house they were trying to save. Basically the novel takes place at Hyde Park. The genre of this novel is realistic fiction. I enjoyed reading this book because of the way the author described certain events that you can vividly picture in your mind. This book is fantastic to anyone that is instrestend in reading a confusing and thrilling book.
