       Praise for THE COPERNICUS LEGACY SERIES

      “I had to keep reminding myself The Copernicus Legacy was intended for a young audience. Full of mystery and intrigue, this book had me completely transfixed.”

      Ridley Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of the Kingdom Keepers series

      “The Copernicus Legacy takes you on a fantastical journey that is as eye-opening as it is page-turning. With mysteries hiding behind secrets coded in riddle, this book is like a Dan Brown thriller for young readers. The further you get, the more you must read!”

      Angie Sage, New York Times bestselling author of the Septimus Heap series

      “The Copernicus Legacy has it all: A secret code, priceless relics, murderous knights, a five-hundred-year-old mystery, and a story full of friendship, family, humor, and intelligence.”

      Wendy Mass, New York Times bestselling author of The Candymakers and Every Soul a Star

      “With engaging characters, a globe-trotting plot, and dangerous villains, it is hard to find something not to like. Equal parts edge-of-your-seat suspense and heartfelt coming-of-age.”

      Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

      “Fast-paced and clever, the novel reads like a mash-up of the National Treasure films and The Da Vinci Code.”
