The Uncracked Code

Coco and Zac are faced with a challenge that would puzzle any superhero. The Cosmic Comic Shop and Café is threatened with closure by property developers and all that can save them is the priceless first edition of Komodo Jones, a famous comic book.

But then the comic goes missing. Who is the thief and can Coco and Zac recover the comic in time?

The Uncracked Code, with its depictions of a multicultural London and its very current theme of property development and gentrification threatening communities, is an interesting addition to children’s bookshelves. The inclusion of comic-book style pages adds another dimension to engage young readers.
