The Blackthorn Key is filled with special groups and their intrigues. Our mission? That was usually fuzzy, at best.
Apothecaries’ secret recipes, secret messages between co-conspirators, and twisty riddles that, when solved, reveal clues to unsolved mysteries – this book is overflowing with cool codes and the puzzling fun of figuring them out along with Christopher.ĭid you ever have a secret club when you were a kid? I remember a few times when my friends and I would come up with a great name for our club, and maybe a password, slogan, or secret handshake. Secret codes are sprinkled throughout The Blackthorn Key. Just as Tom (and we) might expect, things go disastrously wrong. He convinces his best friend, Tom, to help him with the experiment.
But Christopher has cracked the code, and naturally wants to try it out. His master, Benedict Blackthorn, has written his recipe for gunpowder in code, so rivals – and naughty apprentices – can’t decipher it.
On the day before his fourteenth birthday in 1665 London, apothecary’s apprentice Christopher Rowe decides to build a cannon. That’s just one of the reasons I love The Blackthorn Key so much. To be honest, I never completely outgrew my fascination with codes. I’m guessing some of you had a similar phase. I tried to rope my friends, my little sister, even my teachers, into trading messages with me using a variety of secret strategies. I read books about how to create and crack codes. I went through a serious secret-code phase when I was a kid.
