For this new adventure, which Gibbs calls The Da Vinci Code for middle graders, he said, in a press release:
“Most kids think of geniuses as social misfits, when in reality, they tend to be these dynamic, adventurous, socially adept—and often very funny—people. So, I wanted a lead character who exemplified that…I think fans of my previous books will like Charlie a lot and enjoy following along on her adventures.”
