You’ve probably guessed that this book is full of super secrets. So take a closer look at things and find these hidden puzzles and codes:
An Important Message: Do you remember the secret word search from Samantha Spinner and the Super-Secret Plans? Try the same trick here! Copy all the ID tags that appear at the top-left corner of Samantha’s journal entries. Put them in order by section number, and they will spell out something you should know.
The Snoddgrass Code: Once again, there is a secret message hidden in everything Missy says. Follow the numbers at the bottom of every page where she speaks. There’s one digit for each of her words. The number tells you which letter to look at in the word. For example, the number 3 and the word the means the letter E. If the number is 0, there’s no letter for that word.
The Breakfast Machine: Reread Section 09, about the waffle iron, and make sure you find the secret message. It’s too bad Samantha didn’t figure it out before they rode the slidewalk to the wrong country!
The Umbrella/Hand Lens Enigma: Each chapter has umbrellas and/or hand lenses at the beginning. It turns out there’s a point to them. A point. Get it?
Use these super-secret decoders to discover the message.
This is R, for example. (The handle is pointing to the right and the tip is pointing to R.)
This is K. (The handle is pointing to the left and the tip is pointing to K.)
And this is U. (The handle is pointing to U.)
