Blackthorn Key series by Kevin Sands

The Blackthorn Key series by Kevin Sands features Christopher Rowe, and his loyal friends Tom and Sally. When the series begins, Christopher is a mischievous apprentice to an apothecary, who is always getting his friend Tom in trouble. But when Christopher’s master is murdered, he and his friends set out to try to figure out the culprit - risking their lives to do so.

This is a great series for fans of adventure stories like Riordan, and children who like to solve mysteries and codes, like Trenton Lee Stewart’s Mysterious Benedict Society series. The reader has opportunities to try to solve codes (and I was totally trying in my mind to solve the mystery before Christopher and his friends did). The series is very addictive - upon reading each installment, the first thing I wanted to do was read the next one. The four books in this series are available on audio as well.
