Description
Back cover: "A poem can seem like a labyrinth, a maze of words you can lose yourself in. The key is to find a thread to hold on to, to guide you in your reading, to lead you into and out of a labyrinth of words...Alice Little thinks she's read every word the world-famous poet Sylvie Pate published before her untimely death...until she discovers a coded message hidden in Sylvie's final collection of poems--a message that may explain the poet's mysterious demise. All she has to do is decipher the code and she knows she can convince her beloved English teacher, Miss A, that Sylvie's message is real. Unfortunately, she only has one manic day at Everville Mall to do it. And between keeping track of her fountain-splashing, havoc-wreaking sister, finding a new copy of Sylvie's poems, and...oh yeah...dealing with the blue-eyed, guitar-playing, majorly swoom-worthy Jaden Briar, who keeps popping up everywhere she goes, Alice wonders if she will ever finish deciphering in time."
