Emma is
finally doing ok with school; she has some friends, one who understands her very
well, Nate, and helps when he can. They
bonded over ciphers and still decode some at lunch, with bets from their other
two friends over who is faster, and the winner gets the junk food. But when mysterious notes start to appear in
Emma’s locker, then her backpack, in code, the four are on the case, and it
looks like another relic is to be found.
I guess it
is possible to put more action, suspense, and ciphers in another book, because this
is it. Maybe I am not so good at
cracking the codes, but I sure love learning about all the different ones and
how they work. What only Nate and Emma’s
guidance counselor know is that Emma is autistic, and she has to find the
courage to help others including her new step mom about how she works and
feels, so they can better help, but mostly treat her. I really love how the book confronts many
issues at the same time. I love the
first book, and this one is even better, so I cannot wait to see what happens
in the third book.
