Ancient codes to crack, riddles to solve and secret messages to decipher are at the very core of this brilliant middle-grade fantasy adventure series, and it all begins with a mysterious manuscript...
The Secret Breakers series begins with the creation of a group of three very clever kids – Brodie, Hunter and Tusia form Team Veritas, and, as their name suggests, they are very much on the hunt for the truth. Throughout the series, they must find a way to crack the impossible code to an ancient manuscript called MS 408, and during that process they will go on so many adventures, from uncovering a secret message hidden in a Shakespeare Portfolio and finding out who exactly is buried in the unmarked Shepherd's Tomb at Shugborough Hall to even tracking down a precious ring once owned by a Knight of Neustria.
The books are all full of mystery and adventure, and are perfect for readers who love puzzles and riddles. If you're careful enough, you'll even find hidden codes in the books!
