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.
