Chasing Vermeer


Chasing Vermeer
Balliett, Blue
ISBN 0-439-37294-1

This book works great for a book club. The illustrations have hidden pentominoes, which are mathematical tools made up of twelve pieces. Each piece is has an assigned letter. The reader can find the hidden pentominoes and decode the message. Other puzzles are contained throughout the book. The story itself is a bit reminiscent of the Westing Game with a list of usual suspects.
