The Calder Games

Have you ever felt strange about something going on in your town? If you do you could relate to this book.

It all started when Calder and his dad went to England and they saw a mysterious sculpture in the middle of the town. The townspeople get stirred up about this sculpture because they don’t know where it came from or who has donated it. When Calder tries to investigate, he meets this mysterious man and then Calder disappears. Will Calder ever find his way home?

I liked the book because it was like a cliff hanger the entire book. An example of this would on page 204 when it says “… From where they stood on a pile of rocks, both could see: Curled in the stern of the boat, wrapped in red blankets, was a body.”

I would recommend The Calder Games to people who like cliff hangers. Blue Balliett does a great job of explaining the setting when she was talking about the maze I felt like I was in the maze!    

I give this book three paws!
