Dominator writes the following about Secret Agent Y.O.U :
I would like to suggest this book because well it is the first book I read and it was fun. The most fun experiment was the yellow brick code. In it you have a 5 x 5 grid. The coder the person who writes a short message in the grid you work from left to right and top to bottom. Then you decide the pathway which is a clockwise spiral. The coder then draws the path through the boxes. The coder then writes letters in each of the boxes in order as they appear along the path. The text is now in code. In the example that it shows it says ‘I have the spying equipment’. So that would fill up 23 spaces and the rest is filled up with x’s. The coder then adds the desired path with a clockwise spiral. The other code that I would like to talk about is the Greek box code. It is also a 5x5 grid. You lable the top 1-5 and the side 1-5. Then you tell someone try to decode this message. So 1-1 4-4 1-1 and1-4. This message says Asad. I would like to recommend this book to all people who like mysteries. This was the best book I ever read.
