Sophus blix.​​The hunt for gutenberg​’​s secret

Sophus blix og jakten p​å gutenbergs hemmelighet

It​’​s Sophus Blix​’ 15th birthday, and his uncle, the owner of an antiquarian bookshop, gives him a present: He can choose any book he wants in the shop. Sophus isn​’​t really interested in books, but hidden in the basement he finds an old, beautifully bound book which turns out to contain a big secret.
Then Sophus notices that things are starting to happen, and his uncle tells him that he is a chosen one, a guardian. Sophus doesn​’​t want to be anybody but himself, but soon he is forced to decide how to act. The book is actually a kind of code to a treasure that more people are interested in, and soon he finds himself in a dangerous race to get to the treasure first.
Sophus Blix ​– The Hunt for Gutenberg​’​s Secret is a suspenseful story about writing, symbols and imagination.​​
