Happy book birthday to Sam, Martina, Theo, and Alexander Hamilton! The third book in the Secrets of the Seven series is out today.

Sam, Martina, and Theo race through New York City, hot on the trail of a ring cast from the bullet that killed Alexander Hamilton. Old enemies and surprising new allies appear, as well as puzzles and traps and brainteasers and plenty of facts about American history. (How many presidents’ last words do you know?)

Are you as good at puzzles as Sam and Marty? Find out here!

What I’ve Been Reading

Beauty Queens by Libba Bray. One of the sharpest books I’ve ever read…a feminist outcry, a simultaneous parody of Lord of the Flies and James Bond movies, a biting critique of commercialism, all punctuated by hysterical fake commercials for beauty products (“Because there’s nothing wrong with you that can’t be fixed!”).

Anyway, you really have to like a book that starts off with a planeload of teenage beauty queen contestants crash landing on a remote desert island and ends up with a profound message about growing up female in a country that’s happy to judge you on how well you can walk in high heels while wearing a swimsuit and smiling.
