Cryptomania!: Teleporting into Greek and Latin with the Cryptokids

Did you know that the Latin word cornu means "horn" and copia means "plenty?" It’s a fact: learning just a bit of Latin and Greek can make figuring out the definitions of big words, like "cornucopia," a snap. And nobody knows this better than the CryptoKids! Readers will travel with Zander, Theo, Cassi, Stella, Marcus, and their blue dino pal Alphy to real and imagined places. Along the way, they’ll discover Greek and Latin word chunks and find clues to unlocking a mystery. Packed with information, jokes, and spectacular artwork, this book will help any kid get more out of what they read.
