From the New York Times bestselling author of Chasing Vermeer, Blue Balliett, comes an all-new Calder mystery.
THE PIECES
Thirteen extremely valuable pieces of art have been stolen from one of the most secretive museums in the world. A Vermeer has vanished. A Degas has disappeared. And nobody has any idea where they and the other eleven artworks might be . . . or who might have stolen them.
THE PLAYERS
Calder, Petra, and Tommy are no strangers to heists and puzzles. Now they’ve been matched with two new sleuths — Zoomy, a very thin boy with very thick glasses, and Early, a girl who treasures words . . . and has a word or two to say about the missing treasure.
With Pieces and Players, you have all the ingredients for a fantastic mystery from the amazing Blue Balliett.
