The Unbreakable Code

By: Jennifer Chambliss Bertman

Narrated by: Jessica Almasy

Emily and James's teacher Mr. Quisling is up to something mysterious. First, there's the news clipping with an unusual note that he drops at a book event. Then Emily and James discover their teacher has been receiving encrypted messages in a series of Mark Twain books hidden through Book Scavenger.

When Emily and James decipher the messages, they begin to suspect Mr. Quisling is hunting a long-rumored treasure of buried gold. Intrigued by this prospect and what it could mean for her family's financial struggles, Emily and James set out to best their teacher. But when they research Mark Twain and the Gold Rush era, they learn about a serial arsonist from the 1800s who called himself The Lightkeeper, and the seemingly unrelated string of arson fires around San Francisco suddenly seem more ominous. Especially when they realize the fires have been set in the exact locations where Mr. Quisling found the Mark Twain books.

Is a copycat Lightkeeper trying to stop Mr. Quisling? Or could Mr. Quisling himself be the arsonist? By the time Emily and James uncover the answers, much more is at stake than whether or not Emily will have to move again.

friendships are a must to have in life. together you never know what you might experience or uncover. this was great.

One of the best books I have ever read! super 📘😍

I love this author. I read the first one and that was great as well. This author always has me jumping out of my chair or feeling bad. The book truly is an emotional rollercoaster. Once you start the book you can't stop. I think the reader was one of the many reasons I loved the book. I love how the characters changed voices. The reader always makes the right tones in there voices!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Great story to listen to with your kids

In the second installment of the Book Scavenger series, Emily and James are intrigued by a code that dates back to the gold rush and has never been broken. Along the way they discover a secret quest their teacher is on and get in the way of an arsonist. 

This is another fun book in this middle grade series.  If you have readers this age in your life, this is a great book to do a buddy read with them!
