The Calder Game

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Brett Helquist. Calder Pillay (Chasing Vermeer, The Wright 3) discovers that the English village where he's staying has been graced by the mysterious appearance of an Alexander Calder statue. Complications ensue when the Calders (both boy and statue) disappear, and Tommy, Petra, and Mrs. Sharpe fly over to help. As usual, Balliett relies on contrivance but writes wonderfully about art and creativity.
