The Shadow Cipher by Laura Ruby

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. Even though it's aimed at younger audiences, I found it to be hilarious with its subtle humor, but still raw and relatable. I expected it to be fairly predictable where Tess, Theo, and Jaime solve the Old York Cipher in the nick of time and get their apartment building back, then in the next book they would be fine when some random problem arises that they need to solve. I honestly gasped out loud at the end when the building got destroyed. I'm extremely glad I randomly selected this book from the shelf at the library.
