Really Cool Book

I bought this book for my niece because we met theauthor at a book signing, and he told Ellie, "Thisbook is about a girl about your age namedEllen--almost the same as your name. It's all aboutcodes, and smuggling and kidnapping, and, best of all,it is proof positive that girls are smarter than boys. Without Ellen, George would be in deep trouble." ><br>That sold her. My niece is already certain she is<br>smarter than her brother. For that reason alone, she<br>had to have the book. Now, I'm grateful to say, she<br>has a greater interest in reading and she is hooked on<br>learning more about decoding.<br>><br>We need more interesting books like this.
