Title: The Emperor’s Riddle Author: Kat Zhang Genre: Fiction – contemporary Publication details: Aladdin NY, 2017 A great set of books to get stuck into!! Hope they write the next book soon!! Loved the illustrations and maps inside both of them!! You will find yourself racing along with them deep into the Grand Canyon and deep down into the Caribbean Sea in search of treasure along with their quirky friends while spies and enemies are hot on their trail!! Some amazing characters in Kit, his brother and sister Zander and M.K., and their friend Sukey. I found these books an excellent read as each chapter flowed flawlessly from one to another. Set in a near-future time but with no access to any digital technology, this steampunk novel is the perfect introduction to the West family siblings. My review: This cool series has everything: three siblings, mysterious packages, code-cracking puzzles and a whole new sense of the world.
With the world on the brink of war, the West’s unlock the voyage’s deadly secret with a mixture of courage, wit, and more than a few homemade contraptions. Now they must follow their father’s trail of clues, battling double-agent teachers and solar powered pirates. The second story, the West children are settling into their new lives at the Academy when Kit finds another map left to them by their father.
In the first story we race along the children as they try to outrun government agents intent on stealing the half map. What these books are about: Computers have failed, electricity is extinct, and the race to discover new lands is underway! Brilliant explorer Alexander West has just died under mysterious circumstances, but not before smuggling half of a strange map to his intrepid children – Kit the brain, M.K.
