A story series with puzzles. Juni and Theo find old letters hidden in the wall of the Lark Lane Post Office, and every bundle starts a trail of clues. Read the books in order: the mystery of K. runs through all five.

For grown-ups

How the books work

Children read a chapter, then solve the puzzle that comes next. The next page stays locked until the puzzle is solved. Every puzzle has up to three hints.

Reading help

Every page has a read-aloud button (the speaker at the top). The pen or gear button opens a grown-ups panel with the answers, a page list and a reset button.

Privacy

Nothing is collected or sent anywhere. Progress is saved only in this browser, on this device. Names typed into a book stay on the device too.

Phones, tablets and computers

The books work on any modern browser. Puzzles can be tapped, dragged or typed. A tablet is the most comfortable size.
