About this ebook

Lauer Middle School has a super-secret society—The Legend. No one knows who is in it. Or how they pull off the spectacular schoolwide events.

Seventh grader Travis Raines may be about to find out. A shiny blue envelope marked For Your Eyes Only mysteriously appears in his locker. You have been chosen, the message says. But if Travis is to become Legendary, he must first solve a series of mind-bending puzzles and complete their challenges. Then he needs to stay out of trouble. The assistant principal has her eye on him. So do his parents.

And even if he does all that's asked of him, Travis still has one question: is the message really from the Legend?

Ratings and reviews

Travis Raines seems to always be in trouble. Even when trying to do the right thing he gets into trouble. One thing he wants more than anything else, is to be part of "The Legend", a secret group in school that plans cool surprises for the students. When he finds a blue envelop in his locker he is excited. He is sure he is being tested for the secret society. He must complete puzzles, tests, and do it all without getting into trouble or without letting anyone know. He gets a plain blue envelope and a shiny blue envelope. It seems that following the instructions in one always lands him in trouble. He needs to figure out who to trust in this situation. I laughed at his ability to get into trouble even while trying to do the right thing because I've seen my fair share of students like Travis. They don't look for trouble, it just seems to follow them around.

About the author

Jody Feldman has always loved riddles and brainteasers and word games, and she lives in a city on a river whose name contains four s's, two p's, and four i's. Jody has written as many books for young readers as there are players in a doubles tennis match. To find out how many brothers she has, take the number of bases on a baseball diamond and divide it by the number of times Grover Cleveland was president of the United States.
