Unsolved Fern Code

Post image

I have always liked the thought of making my own code. For what reason I don’t have one and I made it on break at work. I believe it would be really hard to break by hand. If a computer got involved and it was a longer text it would be no problem to break. I want some feedback and see if anyone could crack it.

Hint: it is the start of a book I (red) back in school

It is not a secret at all in would be more then happy to explain what it means and how I made it.

Alphabetic transcript:

Looks like something polyalphabetic. If that is the case there's not enough ciphertext for a ciphertext-only attack.

The more I think about it from an outside perspective. It maybe impossible to solve without years of experience and even still something I just made myself. I can’t think of a code that has been made this way.
