What do you think about coincidences? Can they lead to connections, which lead to unexpected results? What if you are studying the artist, Vermeer, at school, and find that there's a mystery about how many paintings he really painted? And, a Vermeer painting is stolen on its way to the Art Institute? And you find a mysterious letter from an art thief on a neighbor's lawn? And then, your teacher begins acting very strangely? Are these all connected? This is what happens to Petra and Calder. They find several mysteries in Chasing Vermeer.
