The pleasures of the novel extend beyond an engaging plot and the thrill of solving a mystery. Infused with humor, it captivates readers with both laughter and subtlety. From National Book Award finalist Laura Ruby comes an epic alternate history series featuring three kids on a quest to unravel a significant mystery: a treasure hunt embedded in the very fabric of New York City. In 1798, the Morningstarr twins envisioned a magnificent city, complete with towering skyscrapers and innovative technology. However, fifty-seven years later, they vanished, leaving behind the Old York Cipher—a puzzle promising unimaginable treasure. In the present day, this mystery has become little more than a tourist attraction. Tess, Theo Biedermann, and their friend Jaime Cruz reside in a Morningstarr apartment, but when a developer plans to demolish the last remaining buildings, the dream of the Morningstarr legacy hangs in the balance. To save their home, the trio must prove the Old York Cipher's existence by solving it. This epic mission to uncover one of the greatest mysteries of their time is filled with twists and turns, making it a compelling read.
