"Bitsy and her best friend, Kosh, are spending a normal evening playing video games-until a purple hamster the size of a bathtub barges in and eats Bitsy's gym clothes. They rush downstairs to find her dad being vanished away by a mysterious woman. Now it's a race against time to rescue Bitsy's dad, starting with learning the truth-that he can conjure magicores, creatures made from the energy of emotions. From magic-carpet-like huffluffs to shape-changing (and purring) copycats and big, stinky lubberwharls, countless magicores and their human companions exist hidden in plain sight. Wasting no time, Bitsy and Kosh hitch a ride on a kangaroo-peacock called an ozoz and follow a trail of clues that leads them from a conjuring school in London to the Taj Mahal to the Palace of Versailles. Swept up in the conflicts between guilds of conjurers, and in pursuit of a shadowy archvillain, the friends must decide who to trust as they solve riddles, fight imaginative magical battles, and get to know the wide, wonderful world of magicores"--

As Jakob joins Bletchley's top minds to crack the Nazi's Enigma cipher, fourteen-year-old Lizzie embarks on a mission to solve the mysterious disappearance of their mother. The Battle of Britain rages and Hitler's invasion creeps closer. And at the same time, baffling messages and codes arrive on their doorstep while a menacing inspector lurks outside the gates of the Bletchley mansion. Are the messages truly for them, or are they a trap? Could the riddles of Enigma and their mother's disappearance be somehow connected?
