Chasing Vermeer Audiobook

" i havent finished yet but it seems fun "

" I was not so in to this book the first time I read it to my students, but this past year, I read it again and we did a lot of activities surrounding it with pentominoes and art, and I loved it. It's not the best writing ever, particularly the ending, but it sparks a lot of ideas and conversation. "

" "Chasing Vermeer" is a book written by the author, Blue Balliett. It is a wonderful story for all young readers. I found the book to be very riveting. You are literally on the edge of your seat waiting to read what happens next. What I found so fantastic about the book were the characters; my favorite being the young school teacher, Miss Hussey. I found her eclectic style of teaching so creative and inspiring. Many can argue that her teaching is not realistic, but for a fictional children's story it is something to be admired. I also found "Chasing Vermeer" to be so interesting because it involved not only reading skills, but math skills. It is a book that any type of learner can enjoy. "

" The book was okay I like mysteries but this book just didnt grab my attention as much. "

" REALLY AMAZING IF U LIKE THE ADVENTURE KINDOF THING! "

" This is a very good mystery book that is a very good read. "

" Great story ! "

" Kind of cute mystery/novel for about 9-11 year old reading level. Lots of references to famous artwork makes it fun. Puzzles and clues in the illustrations are fun, too. "

" Really great book for adults and kids!! "

" this book was confusing at some parts. "

" I didin't like it that much "

" Another Great book for kids - I quite enjoy books for young kids!! "

" Good book - patterns, art, mystery. I'm glad I've finally read the book many people have recommended. "

" it was good. i read it when i was in 6th grade and i liked it. "

" This is a nice book but the clues and details are quite bizarre. Maybe I'm not being open minded enough about the possibilities of the universe but just couldn't get into it. At least it teaches children to be creative to come up with good solutions. "

" Great way to introduce art/history to kids! "

" Read this in anticipation of an author visit. Very unique story with mystery, art, and math all wrapped into it. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but I can see many of my students enjoying it as well as her other books. "

" It is one my favorite thrillers ever... I loved the suspense elements in it.... "

" I talked about this book on September 22 2012, on the Betty howls show. "

" I loved it, but I think that the characters won't actually appeal to my students, unfortunately. They are just too clean and cerebral. "

" I love a good children's chapter book and this is a wonderful story with great characters, art history, mystery, intrigue and adventure. "

" This was a great art/math mystery! "

" The first book. I definitely think she got better! "

" Fun mystery fiction combined with some real history. 1st in a series by Blue Balliett. "

" An intriguing book for young readers.I really thought I knew what was going to happen and that I had spotted a major trend throughout the book ,but the ending completely will throw anyone and everyone for a suprise. "

" I really enjoyed this series. This is meant for kids and I chose it because of the references to Chicago and attractions in the city. I also like to recommend books to our young patients...it gives us something to talk about. This is the first of the series. "

" A fun little mystery makes you want to check out some of Vermeer's works of art. Well it did for me. "

" I stared reading this book but I got bored after a while. "

" This book has been called a DaVinci Code for tweens. And it really was a lot of fun. There were even puzzles to solve in the illustrations of the book. "

" Are you age 8 to 88? Do you like puzzles? Do you like art and history? Then read Chasing Vermeer! "

" Mysteries are not my type, but I had to read one for class, and this grabbed my attention. So overall I think it's great :D "

" Ive read this twice now and I think each time you read it you understand more. "
