Coming in October 2024: The Puzzler’s Guide to California
With 15 types of puzzles to delight curious minds, The Puzzler’s Guide to California is one part puzzle book, one part natural history guide—and lots and lots of fun!
Visit the beautiful golden state of California! Grab a pencil and start solving while four local animals tell jokes and share trivia. Learn about the official state symbols, the state’s biggest features, the animals that live here, and much more.
The puzzles mix a variety of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) challenges to exercise different parts of the brain, including mazes, tessellations, logic and math reasoning, crosswords, word searches, and language codes. When solved, the puzzles’ answers (at the back of the book) reveal facts about California’s flora, fauna, history, and culture.
Perfect for long drives, plane rides, meals, and other slow times, The Puzzler’s Guide to California keeps young puzzlers ages 8 and up occupied and engaged. Get ready to travel to California, the true puzzler’s way!
