This was such a great mystery. I didn't know where it was leading, how they would make it, or that this book would be so good! I was gifted this book 14years ago and didn't have the focus for it as a child but I wish I had sat and read this. A middle schooler would love this. An adult would love this. It's amazing.

What a great mysterious adventure book! It had so many twists and turns, yet it is easy to process for children. I love it!

I really liked this book! The characters were interesting because Stewart relied mainly upon personality rather than physical attributes. I could tell that the book was meant for a younger audience but I still really enjoyed the puzzles and the secret agent-y parts of the book. overall, I really loved it!

Eh...didn't live up to the description on the cover. I expected to have to puzzle things out a bit more.

This is a great book if you like Young Adult and you like brain puzzles.

This was a fun book of a series of rather misfit, intelligent, children who have been abandoned for one reason or another coming together to save the world. It made me think of my nephew, one of the few people I know who can understand Morse code.

Started reading it to the boys long ago - loved the beginning with the tests, but not as much the rest.
