5.0 out of 5 stars
Great mystery-solving fun for elementary-age kids,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mutiny at Crossbones Bay (Puzzle Adventures) (Paperback)
The story is about two kids who accidentally fall back in time and mix it up with some pirates and find buried treasure, but who cares? The real fun is the comic-book style pictures/words and the puzzles--jumbled words, picture clues, double-entendre poems--that the reader must solve every couple of pages in order to proceed. One of the best features, that I rarely see in other mystery/puzzle books, is that for each puzzle they offer a Hint as well as the Solution. So if you're stumped by a puzzle and torn between wanting to solve it youself and looking at the Solution, you can turn to the Hints page first. Entertaining and absolutely non-frightening (the ominous-sounding "Master" of the ship turns out to be a warm, non-nonsense Grandma). Great for 8-12 year-olds and their puzzle-minded parents.
