Each step gets him closer to greatness . . . or disaster.

Lauer Middle School has a super-secret society—The Legend. No one knows who is in it. Or how they pull off the spectacular school-wide events. Seventh grader Travis Raines may be about to find out. A mysterious message appears in his locker. You have been chosen, it says. And it gives him a mind-bending puzzle to solve and a challenge. Travis could become legendary. If he completes all the tasks—and stays out of trouble. The assistant principal has her eye on him. So do his parents. And Travis isn’t very good at staying out of trouble.

And then there’s the biggest puzzle of all: What if the messages aren’t from The Legend? Could someone want to take Travis down?

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.
