Jake McGreevy is back—and this time he's searching for a long-lost masterpiece! Fans of National Treasure will be riveted by Chicago Bound's action-packed scenes in the Windy City.
Audiences from around the world last got to see Impressionist Mary Cassatt's mural in 1893 at the World's Fair. Notre Dame expressed interest in it in 1912, but then the mural simply vanished. Where did it go? And how did this missing painting relate to Jake's mother's death twelve years ago?
With his mother’s mysterious letter in hand—and with thieves close behind—Jake, his best friend Julie, and new pals Ben and Natalie are determined to figure it all out—and fast!
This thrilling adventure takes readers on an edge-of-their-seat ride as art, humor, music, friendship, and delicious chocolate cake combine over one unforgettable winter break in Chicago.

Reviews
“A rollicking, fun mystery with a young, charismatic hero.”
—KIRKUS REVIEWS
"[A] powerful new Jake McGreevy novel that provides another thriller for middle-grade audiences. . . ."
—MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, DIANE DONOVAN
"Having spent many years searching for Mary Cassatt’s 1893 mural done for Chicago’s World’s Fair, I was delighted to encounter Sean Vogel’s Chicago Bound in which the young Jake and his pals visit the city and discover that Jake’s mother was murdered in her own hunt for the mural. Tracking down the killer, and the Cassatt painting, takes the teenagers on a thrill-packed adventure from the Art Institute of Chicago, to a tea room in Marshall Fields, to the grand finale in, of all places, a retirement home. Chicago Bound is loving and eventful, and most of all a great read."
