What is the code for the sword thief?

Answer 1

On the title page of the book there is a ninja star that has letters on it. That is the key to the code on the pages in the middle of the book. A equals a square. Note that it does not have all the letters of the alphabet. You don't need all of them. Once decoded, the message says, "The Competition Is About Hope" . That is the message of the third book. The first book is "Anne Cahill Did Not Drown" and the second is "Look to India". Hope this has helped all you clue hunting Cahills out there! :D
