Legend of the Star Runner A SolveThemYourself Mysteries Adventure Timmi Tobbson Chapter Book for Kids 812 edition by J I Wagner Cindy Foehlich Bradley Hall Tracy Phua Children eBooks Reviews

• I love this book. My kids love this book. It is an adventure story that requires using some creative puzzle solving to figure out the puzzles presented to the reader. Excellent variety of puzzles that require a bit of lateral thinking. The characters are great, and overall the story is just wonderful. I truly hope there will be more like this to come!
• My son devoured this book. The story is captivating, like a mix between Indiana Jones and The Goonies, and the puzzles are great fun. I was planning to let him read one chapter a day (it is a chapter book) but he ended up reading several. He is not a big reader but the mix between two-three pages of story followed by a picture mystery did the trick.
• This book follows the escapades and investigations of Timmi, Marvin, & Lilli as they search for the Star Runner and its hidden treasures. The format is much like many children's chapter books - but each chapter of story is followed by a full-page illustration that is the puzzle-solving part of the book. The clues in the text cue what you should be looking for in the illustration to solve the puzzle for that chapter.
  Honestly, I thought this might be a bit much for my 6-YO, but he was very engaged and very good at picking out hidden clues in the illustrations. Only on some of the harder ones did I need to provide some additional clues for him. And only on the hardest puzzles did I need to refer to the clues at the end of the book (designed to be read in a mirror).
  We both ended up having great fun with this, and can't wait till the next installment. If I have one reservation, it's that the re-reading potential is lower due to having solved the puzzles already.
• My son really enjoys this book. He is a beginning reader and really enjoys the short chapters followed by a visual puzzle or logical conclusion. The story is creative and interesting and I plan to buy more copies to gift to friends. Highly recommend.
• I was expecting a book where you read the chapter, then you choose an outcome and it directs you to another section of the book based on that decision. This is not one of those books. I think it is classified as "solve-them-yourself" books, due to it having follow up questions following each chapter to get children to really think about what they've just read and inspire deeper reading. Still a good book, but I was hoping for something else.
• Our daughter needed some added attention to her comprehension for school (grade 2). The workbook that we obtained for 2nd grade and similar materials were actually far too easy. We got this book as a way to help in a fun way. She just loved it! and as a result propelled forward in class more than we even expected. I wish there were more in this series. I wish there was another book like this that I could buy for her. It was easy, super fun and quick (you need not process the whole book at once as it has convenient chapters which are not very long and age appropriate). Highly recommend.
• My son loved this book. He solved the puzzle. You should, too. The author actually sent him an email.
  We are eagerly awaiting the next book.
  Definitely worth a read.
• The book was very interesting, had a lot of mystery, and at times almost scary. My 10 year old loved it.
