A review by dlberglund
The Calder Game by Blue Balliett

3.0

The third book about smart, adventurous friends from Chicago. The first 2 were GREAT. I didn't love this one as much. It's set in a small town in England, where there is a crime, or two...that, of course, our main characters (7th graders) need to solve before the police can. The author says that this book rolled out of her faster and easier than the other 2. I'm not sure what that means, if I found this one harder to relate to (or suspend disbelief about). Also, their new teacher is just horrible. That irks me.
