Overview:
Sherlock Bones Puzzle Quest by Tim Collins is a five-book paperback set that turns young readers into detectives-in-training. World-famous canine investigator Sherlock Bones and his sharp-witted feline sidekick Dr Jane Catson tackle five separate cases, from a haunted castle to a Manhattan crime spree, with over thirty interactive puzzles woven into every story. Illustrated throughout by John Bigwood, each book blends fast-paced mystery fiction with hands-on games like mazes, spot-the-difference and silhouette matches, making this a genuinely interactive reading adventure that keeps children aged 7-9 turning pages long past bedtime.

About the Books:
Each Sherlock Bones Puzzle Quest title drops the detective duo into a fresh globe-trotting mystery, and readers solve real puzzles alongside them to help crack the case. In Sherlock Bones and the Case of the Crown Jewels, the pair investigate a daring heist involving Britain's most precious treasures. The Mystery of the Vanishing Magician sees a famous illusionist disappear mid-trick, with clues pointing toward a wider plot to steal a priceless painting. In Curse of the Pharaoh's Mask, Bones and Catson head to Egypt to track down a missing ancient artefact amid tombs and a cast of suspicious archaeologists. The Horror of the Haunted Castle takes the detectives to a spooky, fog-wrapped castle where eerie noises hide a very earthly culprit, testing Bones's famous scepticism about ghosts. Finally, Mischief in Manhattan lands the duo in the middle of a riddling New York crime wave, chasing a masked mastermind through the city streets. Every book weaves dozens of puzzles directly into the plot, so young readers actively help solve each mystery rather than simply following along. The combination of comic-strip style illustration, witty dialogue and genuine brain-teasers makes this series a stand-out choice for reluctant and enthusiastic readers alike, encouraging logical thinking, patience and close attention to detail one page at a time. Fans of quick-fire mystery series will find the pacing brisk and satisfying from cover to cover.
