I am a lover of books; I can't get enough of them. Come check out my recommendations for readers of all ages! I hope you find some new reading treasures for you and your family here. Three star books are good, four star books are great, five star books are outstanding. In general, if I didn't like it, I don't even blog about it. Recommendations are based on my personal opinions, and cautions are listed for the sake of sensitive and/or younger readers.

TUESDAY: The Puzzling World of Winston Breen
Winston Breen is a 12 year old boy who loves to solve puzzles. The box he buys his ten year old sister for her birthday was just supposed to be a little keepsake box. But instead, it is home to four strips of wood with words on them. Those strips set Winston, his friends and his sister on a treasure hunt with puzzles for the reader to help solve that will keep everyone guessing.
This was a fun story with a good twist. The puzzles were of varying difficulty, so readers at different levels can enjoy them. There is a sequel, The Potato Chip Puzzles. I haven't read it yet, but I have it in a pile of books to read soon.
