Thank you NetGalley and Orange Sky Audio for the gifted book!

If you want the National Treasure of middle grade books, look no further. The Explorers Code follows 3 kids as they each independently discover the secrets that Idlewood Manor has in store. The puzzles require knowledge of history, math, and code breaking. Plus they may have to have a little physical daring as well. 

I enjoyed how each of the 3 kids had to embrace who they are, as well trust themselves to get to the bottom of the mystery.
