Scholastic Publishing in Australia owns the Australian rights to Conspiracy 365, but in
the US, you'll find Conspiracy 365 right here with the Kane/Miller imprint! If you
want to get a taste of it, take a look at Scholastic's Conspiracy 365 video trailer of Book 1 –
"January", our
video trailer, or the video trailer below. You can also read the first chapter of
Conspiracy 365 Book 1 - January!
“Several factors make this book a top
choice for reluctant readers, including the nonstop action, the small trim, the short
length and the amount of white space on the pages.” - Kirkus Reviews (December 1,
2009)
“Lord creates a tense environment…the villains are suitably vile and
entertaining, and Cal makes for an affable hero.” - Publishers Weekly (December 7, 2009)
"Even the packaging is engaging; there are illustrations and graphics scattered
throughout the pages to emphasize discoveries or new puzzles as Cal moves from one
dangerous situation to the next. Conspiracy 365: January proves that venturing outside of
your usual reading zone can be a good thing. I am looking forward to reading February!”

“Wow.. that's all I pretty much have to say about this book! …it sure keeps you
on the edge of your seat. I definitely think this book is a best seller series in the
making, and anyone who likes books with tons of action and a mysterious twist to it will
really enjoy Conspiracy 365.” – 14-year-old reviewer, Flamingnet.com , Rating 10
(scale of 0-10)
“…it will be a hit with tweens and they'll be racing to get to the end to see
what's next for Cal and his family. I love the idea behind this series… I also loved
how the page numbers of the book counted down-it added to the suspense of the story and I
hope other readers pick up on it. …It's short and fast paced and I would hand this
over to reluctant readers in a heartbeat.” - GreenBeanTeenQueen
“…Gabrielle Lord has created a fantastic concept that is going to suck you in
and not let you go until next December. And they are short, quick reads...again, great for
a reluctant reader. Recommended for school and library shelves. I think you'll have a hard
time keeping these in…” – A Patchwork of Books
“…An edge of your seat thriller you won't be able to put down and will anxiously
await the next book in the series!” – Kidsbookshelf.com
“…a rip, roarin', action adventure, thriller that had my heart pumping faster as
I gobbled up the pages. And when I was done, I wanted the next book . . . desperately. At
least the wait will only be a month away, not a year like most books. What an awesome idea
this is! So, bring it on Gabrielle Lord. I am definitely ready to find out what happens
next…” – Reading
