Hidden Codes

===In both of the books that have so far been published, there are hidden codes left for the reader to find. This page contains the answers to these messages, so I would recommend not reading them if you haven't yet found the poems.===

The Reader
In the reader, there are several hidden messages. First there is the page in the front, sort of an introduction before the introduction. If you read down the fourth character, the ones in bold, you will find the message Look closer.

Second, there is a message hidden word by word next to some of the page numbers. This message covers the whole book and eventually becomes a poem, reading:

The third message that I have found begins on page 49 of The Reader in one of the first chapters from the perspective of Lon, Sefia's father. It can be found if you put together the bold letters at the beginning of each section up t o the k  on page 68. This message is short and says only, This is a book.

The Speaker
In the speaker I have only been able to find one hidden message, but please edit this page if you've found any others!

The one I have found in The Speaker can be found in the same manner as the second one from the reader- next to some of the page numbers. It also is written as a poem. So, here it is:

''This is a word and a word is a spell, a promise to keep or a secret to tell. Controlling the word means the power to frame how the ages of history remember your name. Are you hero or villain? A saviour or spy? Some titles are lovely, some titles are lies.You can choose who you are now that you've found your voice, but those who are chosen will not have a choice.''
