A New York Times-Bestseller!

For twelve-year-old Emily, the best thing about moving to San Francisco is that it's 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 Griswold's new game―before those who attacked Griswold come after them too.

This title has Common Core connections.

This was an interesting book. The daughter of a mobile family, who plays a game similar to IDOGO called Book Scavenger finds the left behind book of a recently shot author, and with her new friend James, she will try to solve the codes.

It was a great book! It had the perfect mix of logic, adventure, and friendship, with a super surprising ending. This is a MUST read!

This was an amazing book. I won it on the book giveaway. Emily's parents have a goal to live in all the fifty states so they move a lot. When they move to San Francisco Emily is kinda excited because that is where her hero Garrison Griswold has his publishing company. Then Mr. Griswold gets shot and Emily finds a book that she thinks is part of Mr. Griswolds new game. Emily and her new friend James will have to solve the puzzle soon because Mr. Griswold might die. This was an amazing book I totally recommend it.
