BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

The book is the narrator, who wants you to pick it up and read it and help make it a bad, then evil book. In the book are stories, puzzles and riddles. The book is not read consecutively, but if you solve the challenges, it will direct you to the next page. 

The premise is fun: solve riddles and puzzles and help make the book bad. The artwork and layout are fantastic, so I really wanted to love this book. There weren’t enough stories and too much narration from the book. A young audience would probably enjoy the puzzles, but the premise grew old quickly and for me it would be a one and done read.
