This is an advertorial competition. Advertorial competitions are competitions that have been paid for by our advertisers.

Firstnews.co.uk are delighted to be working with the lovely people at Hodder books to celebrate the first Robert Muchamore release of 2012!

Henderson's Boys: The Prisoner takes up where last year's Grey Wolves left off, with Marc Kilgour desperate to escape from a labour camp in the German city of Frankfurt.

One of Henderson's best agents, Marc, is being held captive in Frankfurt. A set of forged record cards could be his ticket to freedom, but might just as easily become his death warrant. A vital mission awaits him in France - if he can find a way to escape.

Speaking about his new book, Robert Muchamore told Firstnews.co.uk:

"I loved writing The Prisoner, because it's a proper survival story. Marc is completely desperate. At the start he's living in this horrible prison hulk, short of food and his body crawling with lice and fleas.

"The rest of Henderson's team don't even know if Marc is alive, so he's got to break free using nothing more than his own wits and the skills he learned in training on campus."

To celebrate the release of the 5th Henderson's Boys book, we've got five goodie bags up for grabs, and we'll be running one competition a week to let you get your hands on them!

Week #1. Make a secret code.

To enter all you have to do is imagine you're a prisoner, and make up your own secret code. Your secret code can be made up from pictures, from number, from using a special font or by making up a cipher wheel.

Here are some examples of secret code articles here:

Rosie the Code Master
Tikkihead's cipher wheel
Which member is this?
Guess the member!



What to do…

1. Write an article using or about your secret code on firstnews.co.uk/bored.

2. Put the link to your article in the comments section below.

3. That's it! Easy peasy!

One winner will be picked by the First News team next Friday, then the competition will start again. You can enter AS MANY TIMES as you like.

Remember, the more creative you are, the more likely you are to win!

Good luck!
