The Texter's Secret

By: Sussman, Diana

Secrets. Suspects. Stakeouts. Maddie's on the case.

Things are finally looking up for Maddie. She's moved past her latest eighth grade drama; her best friend isn't ditching her; and her first crush actually likes her back. Then a cryptic text arrives-someone is watching her every move. Who is it?

Determined to find out, she enlists the help of her best friend, her crush, her code-cracking cryptogram crew, and even her slightly annoying but helpful little brother. Maddie can't resist a mystery and this one's personal. Together they launch stakeouts, track down burner phones, and decode messages, plunging Maddie back into the dangerous world of espionage.

Every clue uncovers a new twist. Every lead raises another question.

Perfect for fans of fast-paced adventures, clever puzzles, and fearless girl detectives.

The Texter's Secret is the second thrilling installment in the Maddie Mystery Series. The first book, The Neighbors' Secret, was a 2024 American Fiction Awards Finalist and a 2023 Tassy Walden Finalist. If you loved the first one, you won't want to miss this.
