The Lost Cipher was a little bit of a disappointment. With a name like The Lost Cipher, I expected this book to be all about a treasure hunt, but most of the book is about a boy named Lucas who goes to a summer camp for kids who have lost a parent. He meets other kids there including Alex and George who have also lost parents as well as a bully named Zach. Lucas, Alex, and George leave their hiking group and get lost. When Alex gets hurt, they have to find and accept help from a grizzly old mountain man named Creech. At the very end of the story, the secret of the treasure is revealed, but it just seems like too much of a coincidence to be believable.
Overall, the story was a well written wilderness survival tale that had a little bit about a long lost treasure as part of the story.… (plus d'informations)
