An illustrated book cover featuring five children centered under the title “Codebreakers: The Wish Ring Cipher.” The kids are all wearing school uniforms and look ready for adventure. Swirls of magic, forest plants, a stone archway, and encoded symbols surround them. A series of these coded symbols is placed vertically along the right-side margin, providing a code for readers to solve.
Excited to share the beautiful cover of The Wish Ring Cipher, book 1 in the Codebreakers series! Emma & her fellow Codebreakers were brought to life by Jared MacPherson. There’s also a surprise encoded on the cover! Coming Feb 3rd, 2026. Info & links to preorder: alexandraott.com/books/codebr...

Heck yeah it’s Autism Acceptance Month, can you believe we have so many wonderful, authentic books these days? (And this is a very non-exhaustive roundup.)
These books are so important for autistic readers AND for others so we can make a more accommodating world. Thanks for reading and sharing!
Thanks Hoda!
