This series is to get your child interested in cryptography and on the road to becoming skilled at puzzles and coding. The introductory puzzles are aimed at children ages 8-13. More advanced puzzles are included at the end of every book and may require some adult assistant or be frustrating for younger children. These codes require a good grasp of the alphabet and word recognition. They will not be able to be solved by younger children who cannot read well yet without assistance. They may be suitable for teens who need an introduction to basic types of ciphers and how to solve them.
