It's a 2007 MG novel about child spies (and puzzles and wordplay) that holds up well, imo— I don't think I really caught or appreciated, as a kid, the way it's about how different types of intelligence are all equally important and valid, but that was the part that stood out to me when I re-read it a few years ago. Would definitely recommend for the middle-grade readers in one's life!
Thank you for recommending The Swifts!! I probably would never have heard of it without your post, and I'm so glad I did.
