Mika and Andy Kudo live in Los Angeles with their parents. They are so excited to be able to travel to Tokyo, Japan for the Summer Olympics. They want to eat lots of Japanese food, attend as many Olympic events as they can. They are also excited to get to know Tokyo better by playing an online game where they can win virtual medals and get clues to who the masked medalist is. The grand prize of the game will be to become beta players for the new games designed and developed by the masked medalist. The kids hit some snags along the way and competition is fierce. 

You may not have realized that the authors of this book are the figure skating Shibutani Siblings. It was a fun and fast read. Andy loves puzzles and games he loves the challenge of this game. Mika also loves the game, but she has an eye for photography and is keeping a big secret from her mom and dad. This is a great book for children that love a good mystery. Maybe they can solve the mystery before the Kudo kids! I love mysteries and this was a good book. I look forward to more books from this brother sister world famous pair.
