The Puzzling World of Winston Breen

This mystery with a treasure hunt full of puzzles is sure to get brains buzzing!

Winston Breen says the only thing better than discovering a puzzle is stumping someone else with one. But when his sister uncovers mysterious strips of wood with words and letters on them, even Winston himself is stumped.

Soon the whole family (and some friends) are caught up in the mystery and off on a scavenger hunt that just may lead to a ring worth thousands of dollars. Everyone involved says they'll share the bounty if they find the ring, only it soon becomes clear that one of the treasure hunters is ruthlessly determined to keep it for themself.

Chock-full of puzzles to solve, some tied to the mystery and some not, this treasure hunt will keep readers' brains teased right up to the exciting ending.

Perfect for fans of The Westing Game and Encyclopedia Brown, exciting mysteries, and, of course, puzzles!
