Preview: Hear it

A New York Times bestseller! For twelveyearold Emily, the best thing about moving to San Francisco is that its the home city of her literary idol: Garrison Griswold, book publisher and creator of the online sensation Book Scavenger (a game where books are hidden in cities all over the country and clues to find them are revealed through puzzles). Upon her arrival, however, Emily learns that Griswold has been attacked and is now in a coma, and no one knows anything about the epic new game he had been poised to launch. Then Emily and her new friend James discover an odd book, which they come to believe is from Griswold himself, and might contain the only copy of his mysterious new game. Racing against time, Emily and James rush from clue to clue, desperate to figure out the secret at the heart of Griswolds new gamebefore those who attacked Griswold come after them too. The paperback edition of Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman features a gorgeous, brightened cover and an interview with the author. This title has Common Core connections. Full of heart and replete with challenging ciphers for readers to decode, Bertmans debut is literary cousin to classic puzzlers like The Westing Game.
