Booklist - 08/01/2016 Ted meets his great-uncle, also named Ted, as the elder is in the hospital, dying. Uncle Ted’s final words to his nephew set young Ted off on a hunt for treasure, even though he’s uncertain what the treasure is. The clues are embedded in a video game, and Ted, who loves puzzles, wonders how his uncle managed to design a game that will lead to the prize. The clues keep coming, but there are people willing to do anything to prevent Ted from solving the final puzzle and uncovering the mysterious treasure. Though he has friends on his side, Ted doesn’t know whom to trust. What is the secret his late uncle wants him to find? Is the answer tied to Uncle Ted’s military service during WWII? Debuting author Markell offers readers the chance to solve the puzzle alongside Ted and his friends, and readers who love locked room mysteries, vintage video games, and red herrings will have a blast. Recommend to fans of Michael D. Beil and Blue Balliett. - Copyright 2016 Booklist.
