"I think it's important for kids to be creative through languages, which are basically codes...and to see learning as fun; which it is " Born in Seattle, Washington, Madeline Reddicks (daughter of Tommy Reddicks) lives in Penzance, Cornwall, UK. Madeline has always had a passion for language, literacy, and linguistics. As a child, she developed an early love for codes and ciphers, and always kept a book of codes by her side. Madeline has an ongoing fascination with artistic forms of language expression. She is drawn to the beauty of symbolism, especially within Kanji, Manga, and Anime.
Madeline's favorite cipher is Pig Pen.
