The Unbreakable Code by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman

5.0

There are very few middle grade books that I find I can become invested in, by this series definitely makes the list! I always love the mysteries and the ciphers, (even though I have no idea how to do any of them) and I feel invested in the characters.

This one was a bit haunting because the author’s note mentioned a ship that’s buried under San Francisco and had burned down, so they built a hotel on top of it which also burned down so they rebuilt and it BURNED DOWN AGAIN. And that’s all real stuff the happened. This book was about a made-up cipher that was supposedly cursed and had survived all those fires. Great read!
