  <default_description>Calder Pillay travels to a remote English village with with father, where he finds a mix of mazes and mystery...beginning with an Alexander Calder sculpture right in the middle of town square.  He is fascinated with the sculpture and townfolk reactions to it.  They don't seem to want it there.  Then, on the same night, both Calder and the sculpture disappear.  Calder's distraught father calls back to America to enlist the help of Calder's friends Tommy and Petra.  They discover even more twists and turns to the mystery which plunges them headlong into some very dangerous territory.  Is someone playing the Calder Game?  What happened to the sculpture?  Is Calder Pillay still alive?  </default_description>
