” Please put your hand on the scanner. Good. Please drop in, reader!” The code used in this EJ12 book is Braille code. Aussies, you might think this is an American author BUT it’s actually an Australian author 🙂 ! The hidden message was: Shadow Cast, Operation, Lights Out Fast, Stage Two Tonight, Will Be A Blast, AX (Adriana X) . The SHINE power was out because of SHADOW. Without power, SHINE wouldn’t be SHINE anymore. The blurb says:

SHINE’s solar energy station is under threat from evil agency SHADOW. Special Agent EJ12 needs to lighten up. She must crack SHADOW’s codes and overcome her fears to stop them before they turn the lights out on the SHINE network. That’s the easy part! As EJ12, Emma Jacks can do anything. So why is she worried about going to her best friend’s slumber party? Perhaps she isn’t after all …

Braille code is the alphabet in dots for blind people.
