Bought at Goodwill in Greensburg, Pa., in November 2009, to read and release in the wild.

Journal Entry 2 by grubsneerg at Greensburg, Pennsylvania USA on Friday, May 6, 2011
"The Wright 3" is a pre-teen version of "The DaVinci Code," but without the horrible presence of know-it-all Robert Langdon. Instead of clues hidden in DaVinci art, clues are hidden in Frank Lloyd Wright houses, specifically, his Robie House in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. I enjoyed the author's writing style and her ability to illustrate the complex emotional lives of sixth graders without being patronizing. I would have loved to have read this book when I was 10, 11, or 12. The idea that kids can make a difference would have been very empowering.

I'm visiting Chicago next weekend and *fingerscrossed* may visit the Robie House. If I do, I'm going to try to release it there!
