The Blackthorn Key by Kevin Sands
Christopher Rowe was a happy, excited apprentice, learning how to solve complex codes, puzzles and creating powerful medicines. Christopher is apprentice to Master Benedict Blackthorn, whom he has great love and respect for. Everything was going great, maybe a little explosion or two along the way, when he received a cryptic warning, "Tell no one what I've given you".
A fast paced historical mystery set in 1665 England, a great mix between a mystery and the Da Vinci Code. This is an interesting, entertaining story, I was sucked right into Christopher's world, and yes there is even a secret bookcase.
This is a book that will be enjoyed by both older children and adults, and it can be found in the intermediate section of the library.
