The Mission: Twelve-year-old Archer is a parkour expert who sees every building as a climbing wall. Ten-year-old Scout is a walking encyclopedia who knows that a well-timed fact is more dangerous than a weapon. When their mysterious Auntie Jo vanishes in Paris, leaving behind only a cryptic note and an ancient key, the siblings are thrust into a race against time.
To find her, they must crack the code of the city itself.
The Adventure: From the bone-filled tunnels of the Catacombs to the secret apartment at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and from the hidden underground lake beneath the Paris Opera House to the glass pyramid of the Louvre, Archer and Scout must stay one step ahead of The Magpie—a shadowy master thief who wants the city’s secrets for himself.
