This was a cute little pro-reading book for kids. The core messages: work together and read books, were a little heavy-handed for an adult reader. The puzzles were cute, but relatively slim (the characters solved any of the puzzles quite quickly, so the reader didn't have a lot of time to puzzle through.) It's hard to tell as an adult reader whether this will hold up to true classics of the genre, such as the Westing Game, but I'll definitely get it for my daughter when she's old enough.
