INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Balliett, Blue

Pieces and Players

(3) 4-6 Petra, Calder, Tommy, Zoomy, and Early--all of Balliett's protagonists from her previous books--team up to track down thirteen pieces of art stolen during a museum heist (think Isabella Stewart Gardner robbery). Ghosts, prime numbers (especially thirteen), and Mother Goose rhymes make multiple appearances as the thirteen-year-old sleuths (with the help of some handy coincidences) solve another twisty-turny art mystery.
