I recently saw the book Finding Vermeer. It's illustrated by Brett Helquist. The sad thing is that the girl in the book, Petra, looks exactly like Fiona from ASOUE! Couldn't he bother to do separate drawings?

Let's Google it! Anyone else notice that Fiona sort of looks like an old granny? If you look at her face... EDIT: It's Chasing Vermeer. ANOTHER EDIT: This is the only pic I can find on Google:

Thanx for the comment on my username I don't have a scanner (my computer is from the stone age, but when I hopefully get a new one, I scan the pictures). I also don't own the book, it was my friend's and she let me look at it. If you click on the cover on Amazon it blows up the image a little and you can see it better. And Fiona does look sort of granny-ish. Does anyone actually have the book?

Cover Click on the thumbnail to get a larger image. This girl does have some similarities to Fiona, yes. Shortish hair (Fiona's is straight, this girl's is curly), but I think the Chasing Vermeer girl's glasses are cat-eyes rather than triangles.

I love how the architechture on the cover is made out of Tetris pieces.

Well, if you mean that she is untrustworthy, then no. I think her name's Petra, and she's a smarty-pants. She's like Nancy Drew, sort of.
