The Who, What & Where Book of Brain Bafflers: 50 Whodunits & Puzzles for the Junior Detective

By Paul Sloane, Des MacHale, Keith Kay, et al.

Book Overview

Amazing mazes, crafty whodunits, marvelous visual tricks, sly lateral thinking puzzles, and stupefying optical illusions: all these fun challenges--packaged in a cool book that's shaped like a magnifying glass--will give kids a brain workout they'll really enjoy. Every page has a picture of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 magnifying glasses; that symbol indicates how easy or treacherously difficult the puzzle will be. For example, finding the guilty party in "Foul Play," a one-glass Dr. Quicksolve mystery, should be relatively simple for budding sleuths. The "Mystery Ruins" maze (3), where you must get from point A to point B through a series of small and winding paths, is harder. And you'll need very sharp eyes and a sharp mind to solve "Circle Quest," a 5 magnifying glass optical illusion. One thing's for sure: by the time kids are done with every one of these, they'll feel super-smart.
