Magnificent Monday Post ALA Mission

July 1, 2013 by Shellie 474 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Since Ally was at ALA this past weekend giving away some super cool notebooks and United We Spy Excerpt Booklets, I decided I needed to give something away also! But you are going to have to work for it!

Up for grabs is a super cute YA Tote, United We Spy Limited Edition Excerpt Booklet, and a super awesome official Gallagher Academy notebook!

tote, notebook, lim ed excerpt

Here is what you are going to need to do:

1. Solve the cryptogram below.

2. Once solved tell me what GG book and page number the phrase is from.

“KVM BJPK OBWJZKSFK KVOFE SFA JD AJL QORR MNMZ XJ OP BSYM WMJWRM KZLPK AJL”

 

For those of you who have never solved a cryptogram puzzle before, the rules are simple… It is basically a secret code where different numbers, symbols, or in this case, letters, represent a different letter. I will give you three of the letters to try to help out with the deduction of the others.

M=E

J=O

K=T

Standard rules apply: I will hold all comments for 48 hours, winner will be chosen randomly from correct responses, only US residence can win but please feel free to comment and just state commenting for fun!

Also, I will allow comments that are tips or encouragement for each other! I know all the Gallagher Girls work better as a team!

Good Luck!

xoxo,

Shellie

P.S. Thanks for all your photos you have sent in of Ally books in fun places! I will start posting them on Wednesdays, so keep ’em coming!

P.S.S There might be a little prize for the person who answers first correctly if they are not the “big” winner.

P.S.S.S. Keep the awesome Fan Art coming to [email protected]

    Okay, so the coded message is: “THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ANY OF YOU WILL EVER DO IS MAKE PEOPLE TRUST YOU.” and it’s from “CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY”, GG 2. But I don’t own a copy of the book so I wasn’t able to find the page number:-(

    I don’t really know what I’m allowed to say, so just don’t give up! 😀 Try REALLY hard. I spent an entire day on it and finally found it at 11 my time. once you have figured out the quote it’s a give away for who said it. THink about that person’s scenes and try and remember the conversations and you’ll find it in no time when you skim! 🙂

    Got it! Wow, that took me hours! The translation is:

    The most important thing any of you will ever do is make people trust you.

    The book it’s from is Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy.

    Page # is: page 173

    It took me FOREVER to find the page number and then I flipped towards it by mistake! And . . . and . . . OMG, the hardest part was NOT solving the code it was finding the book and page #. Anyway, thanks for the practice Shellie!

    PS: If by accident I missed something, the quote was from Joe Solomon.

    “The most important thing any of you will ever do is make people trust you.” I don’t have any of the books on me, but I have a feeling that it’s either in Cross my Heart and Hope to Spy or Only the Good Spy Young. I may be wrong, but at least I gave it my best shot. 🙂

    The most important thing any of you will ever do is make people trust you. -Cross my heart hope to spy- If you look back I’ve already posted the answer, but I forgot to say that the page number that I put which is 172 was from an ebook. So that’s why I put 172 because for me that was the page number.
