5. • Gallagher Academy might claim to be a
school for geniuses - but it's really a
school for spies. Cammie Morgan is
fluent in fourteen languages and
capable of killing a man in seven
different ways (three of which involve a
piece of uncooked spaghetti). But the
one thing the Gallagher Academy hasn't
prepared her for is what to do when she
falls for an ordinary boy who thinks
she's an ordinary girl.
Sure, she can tap his phone, hack into
his computer, and track him through a
mall without his ever being the wiser,
but can Cammie have a normal
relationship with a boy who can never
know the truth about her?

MACHINE

9. THE VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT
• Somewhere deep inside the bowels of Yale's Beinecke Rare Book
and Manuscript Library – the Ivy League institution's own cemetery
of lost books – lies a tome that experts have studied for centuries,
but which has yet to be understood by a single soul.
• The book has no known author or official title; Yale librarians simply
refer to it as manuscript MS 408. But thanks to its peculiar
language, symbols and diagrams – often strangely familiar, but
insistently elusive in meaning – it has intrigued and frustrated
anthropologists, linguists and mathematicians for centuries: even
the elite cryptologists at the US National Security
Agency drew a blank, after they spent years trying
to decode it in the 1950s. And the time that some
researchers have dedicated to the problem seems all
the more remarkable given the possibility that, for all
the complexity and consistency of the script it
contains, it could simply be an elaborate hoax.

CREATED IN 1947 WHEN PRESIDENT
TRUMAN SIGNED THE NATIONAL SECURITY
ACT.

18. • Imagine the chance to solve the Voynich Manuscript - a
puzzle that has truly defeated adults for centuries.
It's an ancient manuscript no one has ever been able to decipher. And
there are Rules that say it is forbidden to even try to solve it.
A secret hidden for centuries.
But Brodie Bray likes a challenge, and when she receives a coded
message through the post her life changes for ever. She's chosen for a
secret team working to crack this most complicated code in the world
to uncover the secret it hides.
But it's a code that has driven people mad trying to solve it.
Together with her new friends, Brodie must break the rules to break
the code, at every turn facing terrible danger. For someone
is watching them - and will even kill to stop them.
In this original new series, three children tackle real unsolved
mysteries and struggle with real unbroken codes to get to the hidden
truth.
