BLUE AVENGER CRACKS THE CODE

Norma Howe, . . HarperTempest, $6.95 (368pp) ISBN 978-0-06-447372-9

Persuaded by his English teacher that the author of the plays attributed to Shakespeare is someone else, Blue quickly sets to work decoding Elizabethan anagrams and ciphers. PW called this "less philosophical than The Adventures of Blue Avenger, but just as eccentric and intellectually engaging." Ages 13-up. (Apr.)
