Eleven years ago, Hannah Hawkins’ parents disappeared while traveling abroad. Presumed dead, Hannah and her uncle are shocked when a letter from her mom arrives right after Hannah’s sixteenth birthday. By piecing together cryptic hints from the note and other clues left behind, Hannah realizes her parents disappeared while trying to find the mysterious Code of Enoch, an artifact they believed could hold the key to curing disease—or creating it. Hannah’s parents had been determined to destroy the Code, no matter the cost. Now with the help of her uncle, her best friend, and another cute but not entirely trustworthy guy, Hannah sets out to discover what happened to her parents and if the Code of Enoch is real.

Review

"HEIST SOCIETY meets the DA VINCI CODE in PJ Hoover’s latest YA novel. Fans of Ally Carter’s books, or Maggie Hall’s THE CONSPIRACY OF US series, will enjoy this fast-paced thriller complete with cracked codes, missing persons, and an annoyingly hot travel companion who could end up being the boyfriend—or the bad guy." —Liz Friend, Texas Lone Star reading list committee

"Once you start this exciting, dangerous adventure you will not want it to end!" —Cheryl Michulka, Librarian. Westview Middle School, Pflugerville ISD

"With nods to archaeological adventures like Indiana Jones, Hannah’s journey features intermittent excitement and dips into intriguing myths and history." —Kirkus Reviews

How far would you follow Hannah and Ethan?

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019

IN THE INTEREST OF FULL DISCLOSURE: Young Adult Literature is not my area of expertise. I only read this book because P. J. is my cousin. I am reviewing it because I LOVED it! Hannah Hawkins, the female adventurer who narrates this exotic, twisty tale, took me back through the fogs of time to the days when I was nearly obsessed by Nancy Drew and Judy Bolton. Hannah is, however, a thoroughly updated version of those gutsy, feminine sleuths. She accesses all the latest technologies as she pursues the truth behind the disappearance of her parents and the mysteries to be revealed by the ancient, archeological treasure in her possession. Hannah makes an excellent role model, researching, strategizing, and demonstrating people skills beyond her years. What young readers will most appreciate though is the fact that there is literally never a dull moment in the well-constructed telling of this tale. There is even a romantic aspect which delivers pretty intense attraction within a female-respectful, positive framework.

Davinci Code Meets National Treasure

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020

The Da Vinci Code meets The Conspiracy of Us meets National (International?) Treasure. 3.5 is my official rating but I'm rounding up because I enjoyed the book.

Hannah's scientist parents disappeared 11 years ago looking for the mysterious Code of Enoch. We don't know much about it except that it can save or destroy the World and it's somehow tied to the legend (and similar legends) of Noah's Arc. Hannah literally stumbles into a clue that maybe her parents can be found. She and her childhood friend Ethan set out to find them and the Code with the help of her uncle and artist best friend, Lucas.

I absolutely love adventure/hidden societies type stories. The Hidden Code was no exception. Though, there are a few things I wish we had had more of. I feel like not very much of these legends or the Code was explained enough. I think a lot was glossed over, especially some of the more serious aspects, and the story almost wraps up too ‘neatly’. I did really like the fact that science and art had to work together to figure things out. I will be preordering the finished copy.

Good for all reading ages

This young adult novel turned out to be a great read for this senior citizen. The plot is clever, the characters are well developed, and the pace makes you want to keep reading.

The book is full of intellectual gems that should stimulate readers of all ages. Where else would you find the “Golden Ratio” cleverly woven into an adeventure?

Great book. I can’t wait until the next one comes out.

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2020

Hannah’s parents died many years ago. She lives a full life at Easton Estate, at home in a mansion complete with its own museum. Her ancestors raided the tombs of ancient Egypt, endowing Hannah with such amazing artifacts as the golden throne of Pharaoh Thutmose II. The summer before heading off to Harvard, Hannah finds joy playing with her sugar gliders Castor and Pollux, or checking in on their giant tortoise, King Tort. Hannah’s tough, and funny, and lives with the constant loss of brilliant parents who simply just disappeared.

Until that day.

That summer day, an envelope arrives from her dead mother. Hannah pores over the words: “They’re looking for it, and so we have to destroy it. . . we’ll be home soon.” Her parents never came back.

Hope flashes through her. Maybe her parents are still alive!

Uncle Randall knows something. After the letter is delivered, they have a long talk about an artifact that was never meant to be discovered. Hannah’s mother had always wanted to change the world. With the arrival of the Deluge Segment, that opportunity arrived. The power to save or to destroy all humanity had found its way into her hands.

With the help of Lucas, her artistic friend, Hannah’s on her way to Turkey—her parents’ last known location. When her uncle is hurt, Hannah must travel with a companion whose motives are highly suspect. In Krubera Cave, they reach one of the most desolate places on Earth. All alone and robbed of their map, Hannah walks forward, in fading hope that she’ll ever see her family again. Trapped by an underground river, with murderous thieves tracking her every move, Hannah discovers why her parents never returned. . .

The Hidden Code is a grand adventure. Quick paced and highly creative, the story brings us to a distant land full of frightening possibilities. When the last light goes out, hope alone remains. In total darkness, a way forward shines in the walls.

I greatly enjoyed this book.

Perfect for struggling readers

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2021

The Hidden Code is perfect for adolescents, especially struggling readers. It has the right combination of action, adventure, history and science to hold young readers interest while balancing a lovely smouldering romance that is never overboard. I love young Hannah's quest to find her parents and her globe-trotting adventure is wonderful! It's completely refreshing to read about a young woman who is more interesting in science, adventure and being a hero than she is in designer clothes or whether or not a boy likes her.

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2019

I bought "The Hidden Code", by P.J. Hoover, about two weeks ago and finished reading it last night. It was a very engaging story with a spunky, smart, determined heroine. The plot was well-thought-out and well-researched. It was one of those books that is hard to put down. Not only was the story exciting, but readers can learn a lot about some of the world's deepest caves as they read. It was fascinating to uncover that information in a story form. I highly recommend this book!

Great read for adults and adolescents

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2020

When I started the book I did not realize it was young adult. I soon became involved in the puzzling out of the story. I couldn’t put it down even though it became clear it was YA! No sex, no curse words, just interesting characters. I recommended it to my grandson so we could share this adventure.
