Grace and Jun walked hurriedly into the local library. The librarian turned and stared at them over her glasses. Grace grabbed Jun’s arm. “Slow down,” she whispered. “We don’t want to attract any attention.”

They had come to the library after Grace found a mysterious letter in her gym locker. The letter described a treasure that could be found at the library. In their rush to get to the library, they had overlooked one important fact—the author hadn’t said where in the library the treasure would be found. It could be practically anywhere.

Jun and Grace raced to a table and started unscrambling the name. After a long time, they finally came up with the words crypt and escritoire.

“The note says that synonyms will lead us to the treasure,” Grace said. “I know that a synonym for ‘crypt’ is ‘basement.’ But what the heck is an escritoire?”

“That’s easy,” Jun said. “My grandparents are French and they taught me a lot of French words. That word translates to ‘desk.’”

“The basement desk!” Grace said excitedly. “Quick, down to the basement!”
