Bookroo's summary

On their first trip to Chicago, the Alden siblings are swept into a puzzling adventure. As they explore iconic sites like Wrigley Field and the Sears Tower, they receive mysterious rhyming clues. What secrets do these riddles hide, and who is the mastermind behind them? With each clue, the stakes rise, leading the Aldens deeper into a double mystery that could change their trip forever. Can they solve the puzzles before time runs out?

However, when they are given a series of clues in rhyme, they find themselves in the middle of two mysteries–to what are the clues leading and who is writing them?
