Balliett, Blue. 2006. The Wright 3. Ill. by Brett Helquist. New York, NY: Scholastic Press. ISBN: 0-439-69367-5.
Tag along with three young super-sleuths - Petra, Calder, and Tommy - in the hunt for information that will help save Frank Lloyd Wright's innovative architectural artwork, the Robie House, built in 1910 and in danger of being cut into pieces and shipped to different museums. Spurred on by an eccentric teacher, Ms. Hussey, who likens the segmention to murder, the Wright 3 take charge of their own personal investigation as an underlying mystery thickens. Eerie coincidences abound, the house seems to move as if it were alive, and strangers haunt the night. Can Petra's copy of The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells help them unlock the code Frank Lloyd Wright left behind, or will Calder's 3 dimensional math tools and Tommy's jade fish talisman reveal the answers behind the inexplicable? This determined trio gets more than they bargained for in a suspenseful tale with some surprising twists. Balliett includes a map, a note explaining Calder's pentominoes, a note about patterns hidden in the artwork, and a note detailing the true history behind the Robie House - marvelous extensions that make this puzzle even more thrilling.
