Secret Breakers #2: The Orphan of the Flames

Description

The Da Vinci Code for kids—an extraordinary six-book series with real codes, real mysteries, and real danger. The team of code-crackers face a new code that has never been solved. Brodie, Hunter, and Tusia are back at Station X, the secret code-cracking station at Bletchley Park. And they are still wrestling with the great unanswered question: what secret lies behind the ancient, coded Voynich Manuscript? Their first adventure left them with a musical box that plays a tune by the composer, Elgar. Elgar loved codes. At once they are off on a new search which takes them to the stories behind Elgar's famous music and a coded letter he wrote to a young friend, Dorabella. The "Dorabella Cipher" has never, ever been solved. Now our team of code-breakers are on a twisting trail via medieval book burnings in Florence, a mysterious boy known as the Orphan of the Flames, and a one-time famous prisoner in London's Newgate Prison who wrote about King Arthur. Where is it all leading? And will they survive, when hot on their trail is a secret organization that has always thwarted the search for Truth and is prepared to kill to stop them. . .
