Old Fred is a character in "Chasing Vermeer" by Blue Balliett.

His wisdom and knowledge about art help the children connect clues and deepen their understanding of both art and the importance of curiosity. Old Fred embodies the theme of mentorship and the value of learning from experience.
The resolution to Chasing Vermeer is in the last chapter where they find the thief, and everything is cleared up. You will just have to chose a part from the last chapter for the resolution. :)
Calder and Petra are both intelligent and curious characters in "Chasing Vermeer." They share a passion for art and solving mysteries, which ultimately brings them together to work towards solving the mystery of the stolen Vermeer painting. Both of them demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and determination in their quest for the truth.
Chasing Vermeer is about when a painting by Vermeer is stolen and 2 kids (Calder and Petra) attempt to get it back. Clues from their neighbor Mrs. Sharpe and their teacher Ms. Hussey receive 2 letters from the culprit. Also read the book. The first 5 chapters are pretty boring but if you ready the end it is pretty exciting when the culprit is revealed.
Yes, It turns out Fred was really a infamous art thief who stole the painting and began writing the letters. Calder and Petra find the painting in a hidden compartment in a staircase in Delia Dell hall.
In the book "Chasing Vermeer" by Blue Balliett, the third letter from Tommy is a coded message that reads: "The lady in the window is not what she seems." This message is significant in the story as it refers to a mysterious painting that the characters are trying to unravel the secrets of. The letter hints at hidden meanings and deception surrounding the artwork, adding to the intrigue and suspense of the plot.
