9780064473729: Blue Avenger Cracks the Code

Synopsis

What do an amorous Shih Tzu, a computer game, and the complete works of Shakespeare have in common?

Maybe nothing. Or maybe everything. It's a mystery...some would say a code. A code that only an adept code-cracker like Blue Avenger (aka David Schumacher), secret champion of the underdog, modest seeker of truth, and fearless innovator of the unknown, would even think about trying to decipher. And it couldn't come at a better time. Having accomplished several seemingly impossible missions, Blue is now a superhero without a cause, directionless and nearly girlfriendless. When he is offered a chance to visit Venice, it seems the forces of nature have aligned, and like all good and noble superheroes, Blue must choose to accept his mission.

Reviews

Persuaded by his English teacher that the author of the plays attributed to Shakespeare is someone else, Blue quickly sets to work decoding Elizabethan anagrams and ciphers. PW called this "less philosophical than The Adventures of Blue Avenger, but just as eccentric and intellectually engaging." Ages 13-up.
