Summary: Calder and Petra are two young kids who get caught up in the crime of the century when a very famous painting is stolen and they take it upon themselves to find the painting and whoever stole it.
Review:
Booklist starred (April 1, 2004 (Vol. 100, No. 15)“Gr. 5-8. The Westing Game, The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler--how exciting to find a book that conjures up these innovative, well-loved titles. That's exactly what Balliett does in her debut novel, which mixes mystery, puzzles, possibilities, and art. The story is set in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood at the University of Chicago's Lab School, where Balliett was a teacher. There, outsiders Petra and Calder become friends as they try to find out what happened to a missing Vermeer painting. That's really all the plot one needs to know. More important are Balliett's purpose in writing and the way she has structured her story. The former seems to be to get to children to think--about relationships, connections, coincidences, and the subtle language of artwork. To accomplish this, she peppers her story with seemingly random events that eventually come together in a startling, delightful pattern. The novel isn't perfect. It glides over a few nitty-gritty details (how did the thief nab the picture), and occasionally the coincidences seem more silly than serendipitous. However, these are quibbles for a book that offers children something new upon each reading. Adults who understand the links between children's reading and their developing minds and imaginations will see this as special, too. Helquist, who has illustrated the Lemony Snickett books, outdoes himself here, providing an interactive mystery in his pictures” (Titlewave, 2011).
Impression: I think this book would be good for younger readers who like puzzles and solving riddles. I thoroughly enjoyed the book except that the mastermind behind the theft is never revealed nor do we find out how the thief managed to steal the famous Vermeer painting. I have to admit that I had never heard of Vermeer but the book gives you a lot of background on the painter. I am not much of an art aficionado but after reading the book; I researched some of his paintings and recognized a couple of them.
Is this crazy or what? As I sit here and type my blog, the television is on and a commercial comes on with two couples talking and one couple comments to the other on how they love their Vermeer paintings. The other couple don't know what they are talking about. The wife proceeds to explain how Vermeer was a famous Dutch painter and painted over 30 paintings. The other couple comment that they just love the color yellow. What a coincidence. After the commercial, I went back and looked at the Vermeer paintings that I had found on Google images and noticed he did use a lot of yellow in his paintings.
Library Setting: Have students find the hidden message amongst the chapter illustrations. “A certain living creature (a frog) plays a part in deciphering the code, and pieces of the message appear in the artwork at regular intervals that create a pattern within the book. Here is a hint: This pattern is even but odd. It has many pieces as a set of pentominoes” (Bailett, 2004) To check answers, students can go to www.scholastic.com/chasingvermeer.
Side note: According to Bailett, a set of pentominoes is a mathematical tool consisting of twelve pieces. Each piece is made up of five squares that share at least one side. Pentominoes are used by mathematicians around the world to explore ideas about geometry and numbers.

Module 8 The Lightning Thief
Citation:
Riordan, R. (2005). The Lightning Thief. New York: Miramax Books.
Summary: Percy Jackson, a typical twelve year old sixth grader finds out he is the son of the Greek god Poseidon and must go on a quest to save the world.
Review:
“Starred Review. Grade 5-9–An adventure-quest with a hip edge. At first glance, Perseus Jackson seems like a loser (readers meet him at a boarding school for troubled youth), but he's really the son of Poseidon and a mortal woman. As he discovers his heritage, he also loses that mother and falls into mortal danger. The gods (still very active in the 21st-century world) are about to go to war over a lost thunderbolt, so Percy and sidekicks Grover (a young satyr) and Annabeth (daughter of Athena) set out to retrieve it. Many close calls and monster-attacks later, they enter Hades's realm (via L.A.). A virtuoso description of the Underworld is matched by a later account of Olympus (hovering 600 floors above Manhattan). There's lots of zippy review of Greek myth and legend, and characters like Medusa, Procrustes, Chiron, and the Eumenides get updates. Some of the Labors of Heracles or Odysseus's adventures are recycled, but nothing seems stale, and the breakneck pace keeps the action from being too predictable. Percy is an ADHD, wise-cracking, first-person narrator. Naturally, his real quest is for his own identity. Along the way, such topics as family, trust, war, the environment, dreams, and perceptions are raised. There is subtle social critique for sophisticated readers who can see it. Although the novel ends with a satisfying conclusion (and at least one surprise), it is clear that the story isn't over. The 12-year-old has matured and is ready for another quest, and the villain is at large. Readers will be eager to follow the young protagonist's next move” (Lothrop, n.d.).
Impression: I was really impressed with this book. It was very entertaining yet informative. I was never really into Greek mythology but this book renewed my interest. I have always been a fan of movies like Clash of the Titans and Jason and the Argonauts, but never really enjoyed reading Greek mythology. Rick Riordan has found a way to entertain as well as educate. I couldn’t wait to finish it so I could read the next book in the series.
Library setting: Have students pick one of the Greek mythology characters from the book, research them and write a short biography with pictures and/or drawings. Students will then present their reports to the class.

Module 7 Slob and Because of Winn-Dixie
Citation:Potter, E. (2009). SLOB. New York: The Penguin Group.
Summary:Basically, the main character, Owen who is considered the fattest kid in school and is tormented on a daily basis by most of the other kids and even the coach seems to have it out for him. What makes matter worse is that the one thing that brings joy to him is his snack of three Oreo cookies that his mother allows him to have even though she wants him to stay on a low-fat diet; someone is stealing them from his lunch and he makes it his mission to find out who it is. There is another mystery that he tries to solve, one that is more important and personal to him, one that he has been trying to solve for the past two years.
Review:
Booklist (June 1, 2009 (Vol. 105, No. 19))
“Grades 4-7. Twelve-year-old Owen and his sister attend a progressive New York City school where there are no desks, “Just workstations. Which are basically desks.” Despite the school motto, “Compassion, Not Competition,” overweight Owen is victimized by his sadistic gym teacher as well as by many fellow students. In his spare time, he attempts to construct a video playback time machine in order to discover who murdered his parents two years earlier. Slowly, Owen realizes whom he can trust and what matters to him now. Self-aware and ironic, Owen makes a sympathetic narrator. Readers will also enjoy the portrayals of his younger sister Caitlin, who insists that her name is Jeremy now that she’s joined GWAB (Girls Who Are Boys), and transfer student/outcast Mason Rigg, who, rumor has it, carries a switchblade tucked into his sock. Loose ends that appear in the narrative early on are tied up a little too neatly by the end, but the vividly drawn characters offer plenty to enjoy along the way” (Booklist 2009).
Impression:
In the book, Owen talks about how he wasn’t always fat; he began to gain weight after the murder of his parents. He was always hungry and felt empty inside and he tried to fill that void with food which led to his weight gain. Everyone deals with tragedy differently. In the end he comes to terms with his parents murder and that the murderer will probably never be found. He begins to lose weight and feels better about himself and he realizes that life goes on and to stop living in the past.
Lesson: Give students a lesson on bullying and signs of bullying and ways to prevent it. Show videos from websites about bullying and have students write about a time they may have been bullied or know someone who has. Librarian could also have students write about the death of a loved one and how they coped or are coping with it. Students will learn importance of writing things down and how much better they will feel once the get things off their chest.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review“Because of Winn-Dixie, a big, ugly, happy dog, 10-year-old Opal learns 10 things about her long gone mother from her preacher father. Because of Winn-Dixie, Opal makes new friends among the somewhat unusual residents of her new hometown, Naomi, Florida. Because of Winn-Dixie, Opal begins to find her place in the world and let go of some of the sadness left by her mother's abandonment seven years earlier.
With her newly adopted, goofy pooch at her side, Opal explores her bittersweet world and learns to listen to other people's lives. This warm and winning book hosts an unforgettable cast of characters, including a librarian who fought off a bear with a copy of War and Peace, an ex-con pet-store clerk who plays sweet music to his animal charges, and the neighborhood "witch," a nearly blind woman who sees with her heart. Part Frankie (
The Member of the Wedding), part Scout (To Kill a Mockingbird), Opal brings her own unique and wonderful voice to a story of friendship, loneliness, and acceptance. Opal's down-home charm and dead-on honesty will earn her friends and fans far beyond the confines of Naomi, Florida” (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter…(as cited on Amazon).
From Publishers Weekly
“DiCamillo's debut novel, a 2001 Newbery Honor Book, percolates with heartfelt emotion and eccentric Southern color as superbly performed by Tony Award-winning actress Jones. Ten-year-old Opal, lonely in the Florida town where she has just moved with her preacher father, instantly takes a shine to a scraggly stray dog she encounters in the local Winn-Dixie supermarket. The pooch, named for their meeting place, becomes a trusted companion with whom Opal can share her thoughts and fears, and her hurt, confused feelings about the mother who left the family when Opal was three. Winn-Dixie is soon helping Opal in other ways, too. The dog's "smile" and sweet temperament act as ice breakers that allow Opal to meet a whole new group of friends who grow to be an unusual extended family. Jones imbues her depiction of Opal with a tone of youthful, hopeful wonder and skillfully transforms her voice to distinguish the other older, life-weathered characters. A Tennessee native, she never sounds hokey as she adopts a Southern accent, and she effortlessly slips into a compelling storytelling rhythm. This is a top-notch treatment of an award-winning tale. Ages 8-up”…(as cited in Amazon).
Lesson:
Students read the book Because of Winn Dixie and then create a personal decalogue, which is a list of 10 personal beliefs. In this decalogue lesson plan, students then write a decalogue of a fictional character and write a story based on it.

Module 6 The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
Citation Scieszka, J. (1989). The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. New York: Viking Kestrel.
Summary: Basically, Scieszka gives the Big Bad Wolf’s side of the story in the classic story of the three little pigs and how things are not what they always appear. There are always two sides to every story.

Full-Text Reviews
Publishers Weekly (March 4, 1996)
"Designed with uncommon flair," said PW, this "gaily newfangled version of the classic tale" takes sides with the villain. "Imaginative watercolors eschew realism, further updating the tale." A Spanish-language reprint will be issued simultaneously ($4.99, -055758-X). Ages 3-8. (Mar.)
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Did the story of the three little pigs ever seem slightly biased to you? All that huffing and puffing--could one wolf really be so unequivocally evil? Finally, we get to hear the rest of the story, "as told to author Jon Scieszka," straight from the wolf's mouth. As Alexander T. Wolf explains it, the whole Big Bad Wolf thing was just a big misunderstanding. Al Wolf was minding his own business, making his granny a cake, when he realized he was out of a key ingredient. He innocently went from house to house to house (one made of straw, one of sticks, and one of bricks) asking to borrow a cup of sugar. Could he help it if he had a bad cold, causing him to sneeze gigantic, gale-force sneezes? Could he help it if pigs these days use shabby construction materials? And after the pigs had been ever-so-accidentally killed, well, who can blame him for having a snack.
Impression:
I think it’s about time someone gave the wolf’s side of the story. Why is the wolf always the bad guy; even in Little Red Riding Hood, he’s the bad guy. Maybe it was a simple case of mistaken identity or being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Is it so hard to believe that perhaps the wolf had allergies or a cold and just needed to borrow some sugar and he accidentally blew their houses down. Maybe the pigs did something to him, maybe he was the victim and not the other way around.
Lesson:
Brainstorm with students what more they would like to know about A. Wolf. What questions would they like to ask him about what happened to the pigs. Have the students write a letter to A. Wolf.
-Ask students what other fairy tales they know and how they would change if they were told from another point of view. How would Cinderella's stepsisters tell her famous story? How would Snow White's stepmother explain what happened to her? Have children write their own versions of famous fairy tales with a twist.
-What point of view do your students feel is correct - the pigs or the wolf's point of view?
-Compare the two stories:
