The Explorer's Code by Allison K. Hymas


 


Anna and her brother Charlie are headed to Idlewood Manor with their parents.  Charlie won a prize and they get a weekend trip.  Idlewood hasn't been open in years to the public, so it is a big deal that they get to go.  They along with 9 other groups are intrigued by the house's history.  Emily is also there with her parents and they are there to save Idlewood from getting sold or torn down.  Emily is there to prove to her parents that she can find evidence to save Idlewood. Anna goes places she shouldn't, but in the process she discovers a hidden 3rd floor and tower room full of secrets.  Charlie is a math whiz and he starts discovering codes and puzzles all over the house.  

Good little book with lots of puzzles and codes.  I kinda like The Inheritance Games better.  I felt like the kids didn't work together for a 3/4 of the book.  Overall,  I liked it, just a little slow.
