(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Sarah Watts. Garrison Griswold, mastermind of the hidden-book game, Book Scavenger, is mugged; his new edition of an Edgar Allan Poe story is missing. Twelve-year-old Emily and fellow code-enthusiast James find the book and discover typos in the text that spell out words. Codes and ciphers star in this puzzle-game of a novel. An intriguing author's note gives further information on Poe's love of ciphers.
