Review:
Not only is Alvin's Secret Code an exciting adventure, it's an engaging primer on cryptography. Of all Clifford B. Hicks's marvelous Alvin Fernald books, this is easily my favorite. -- --Joshua Glenn, coauthor of the UNBORED books
A fast moving, comical plot (buried treasure to boot)--it's certain to cause an increase in the number of amateur agents across the country. --Kirkus, September 1963
