Bertman, Jennifer Chambliss Book Scavenger, 368 pages.
Henry Holt (Macmillan), 2015. $17.
Emily, 12, is not happy about her family moving yet again,
but at least this time she has arrived in San Francisco, the home of the
inventor of her favorite online obsession – Book Scavenger. Think geocaching with books, where you can
leave a book friend behind for someone else to discover, as you pick up a new
friend that someone else left earlier.
Garrison Griswold, the originator of the game, is supposed to announcing
a new puzzle today. Instead, he has been
mugged and is in the hospital. While
investigating with her new friend, James, Emily discovers a book which she
suspects may be the beginning of Griswold’s game. The hunt has begun! If only Emily can keep
things secret from the cheaters and the nasties who are more than happy to get
in her way.
So many fun puzzle books being published right now. I had a great time following Emily and her
friend as they decipher and follow the clues.
A little bit a of danger ( not too much) and a whole lot of fun.
