PopCo is a great adventure book, complete with code-cracking and mysteries!
“To the unaccustomed eye, perhaps this would seem like a barcode or maybe even a really crazy reference code from some official letter. It is, of course, a code, but neither of those sorts.
This is a cipher that someone wants me to break.”
(Scarlett Thomas: PopCo. 62)
Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Should Be Reading and this is how it works:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Sounds really intriguing. Great teaser!!!
Here’s mine for this week:

Interesting teaser! Code-cracking sounds wonderful!
Interesting teaser! Code-breaking stories are wonderful!
I can definitely recommend it so far. I love how it combines math and language (and now I know some basic code stuff):)
It sounds like a wonderful book! Will add it to my ‘TBR’ list 🙂
