Gr 3–6—This series of six books in Spanish provides an introduction to cryptology, or the study of codes, through several different lenses: blockchain and cryptocurrency; classic codes; digital cryptology; becoming a professional cryptologist; steganography; and Navajo codetalkers. The history of how codes have been foundational in everything from law enforcement, advances in military science, the Bitcoin phenomenon, computer science, mathematics and more is explained in each installment. Notable about this series is its fascinating coverage of how Navajo Marine soldiers used Navajo language to help the United States win battles in World War II, as well as its up-to-date and timely highlighting of the rise and fall of cryptocurrency. These books are filled with full-page color photographs, simple diagrams and charts, and suggested activities that will help readers apply what they read to real-life questions and problems. VERDICT This series provides essential information about a timely and specialized topic, while remaining interesting to readers who are interested in history, science, and mathematics. Both school and public libraries should consider it.
