Hidden Clues - Secret Locations - A Race Against Time: Solve 31 Picture Mysteries! This interactive treasure hunt adventure for kids 8-12 is a global success, translated into 14 languages and enjoyed by over a million young readers around the world. Only twenty-four hours remain to save a dear friend. Following clues concealed within a centuries-old family legacy, Timmi Tobbson and his friends set out to unravel the legend of a long-lost pirate ship, buried somewhere deep beneath the city streets. But their search awakens a mystical dark power, sworn to protect what lies hidden aboard the once-famous Star Runner. This engaging mystery quest turns reading into a hands-on puzzle game! If you enjoy movies like The Goonies and games like Uncharted, you'll love joining Timmi and his friends on their hunt. (A heads-up for parents: "Please, just one more chapter!" is a known side effect of this book.) THE READER IS THE DETECTIVE: Each of the 31 illustrated chapters ends on a cliffhanger and includes a fully illustrated riddle to investigate and solve with clues from the text. Short chapters, colorful illustrations, and brain teaser and logic puzzles turn even the most reluctant readers into eager sleuths. Designed as an activity book for kids 8-12, this interactive adventure feels like a real treasure hunt! SCREEN-FREE FUN: With fast-paced chapters, maze and hidden picture challenges, and solve-them-yourself mysteries woven into the story, this puzzle-driven book delivers the thrill of a video game — on paper. Kids stay hooked and reading for hours. RELATABLE CHARACTERS: Beyond the mystery, young readers meet true-to-life friends worth rooting for. Timmi is a kid finding his courage one clue at a time. Lilli is strong-willed and determined — she never gives up on a riddle, and she never gives up on a friend. And Marvin proves that kindness and consideration are true detective skills. A NOSTALGIC FORMULA: As interactive as choose your own adventure books for kids and told in the illustrated style of a graphic novel, this book brings back the magic of the point-and-click adventures and treasure hunt games parents grew up with — ready for their kids to discover. READ TOGETHER, SOLVE TOGETHER: A delightful read-aloud adventure to crack together with a parent, and classroom-friendly for 3rd grade and up. A great choice for teachers, homeschooling parents, and grandparents hunting for a gift that will actually get used. BONUS CONTENT ONLINE: A puzzle within the puzzle — a digit is hidden in every chapter illustration. Find them all, combine them, and unlock a secret area on the website!
