About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the tricky shift from a best-friend duo to a three person group. It is an ideal choice for the middle schooler who feels left out or is struggling with jealousy as friendship dynamics change. The story follows Calder, Petra, and the returning Tommy as they attempt to save Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House from demolition. While the plot is a fast paced mystery involving architectural secrets and a high stakes confrontation with robbers, the emotional heart of the book is the 'tense struggle to transform from duo to trio.' It celebrates intellectual curiosity, art history, and the power of young people to protect their community's heritage. Parents will appreciate the sophisticated vocabulary and the way it encourages kids to look at the world around them with the eye of a detective.
