Perfect for tween readers who enjoy mysteries and puzzles and books
like Chasing Vermeer, this page-turning debut novel is filled with
adventure, intrigue, and heart.
After their father, a video-game inventor, strikes it rich, the
Smithfork kids find they hate their new life. They move from their cozy
Brooklyn neighborhood to a swanky apartment on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue.
They have no friends, a nanny who takes the place of their parents, and
a school year looming ahead that promises to be miserable.
And then, one day, Brid, CJ, and Patrick discover an astonishing secret
about their apartment: The original owner, the deceased multimillionaire
Mr. Post, long ago turned the apartment itself into a giant puzzle
containing a mysterious book and hidden panels--a puzzle that, with some
luck, courage, and brainpower, will lead to discovering the Post family
fortune.
Unraveling the mystery causes them to race through today's New York
City--and to uncover some long-hidden secrets of the past.
