York: The Shadow Cipher is a middle grade science fiction mystery novel by Laura Ruby. The Morningstarr twins had big plans for New York. Using technology never before seen, they created the city of the future. But when they suddenly disappear, the architects leave behind something called the Old York Cipher, a puzzle within the city with a treasure as its prize. Unfortunately, no one has ever been able to solve it, and most people have stopped trying. Until now. Siblings Tess and Theo, and their friend Jamie, decide to try to solve the Cipher once and for all, and save the city and buildings they love so much. (This is Book One in a new series!)
Sex: None.
Language: None.
Drug/Alcohol Use: None.
Violence/Gore/Frightening Scenes/Death: There are several suspenseful scenes and they are some seedy violent characters. There is nothing too graphic. It's all to add to the sense of adventure.
Final Note: This is going to be a great new series! The story is very imaginative and takes on so many aspects. The characters are very likeable and the clues and mystery aren't very predictable! I think both boys and girls will enjoy this book!
