Quest for the Code

Brenda and Arpita love hanging out in Brenda's treehouse and reading mystery stories. When an unreadable note blows into their clubhouse, they see their chance to solve a real-life mystery! The two best friends set out on a quest to discover its meaning.

On their journey, they discover many cultures that use different writing systems, including Sanskrit, Hebrew, Chinese, and Cree. But, at the end of the day, Brenda and Arpita will need to use their very best detective skills to discover just what kind of writing they've stumbled on-and what code they'll need to decipher it!

Quest for the Code is an engaging, fun mystery book that explores the joy of discovery, the importance of self-reliance and hard work, and the mystery of cursive writing.
