Time for another truly stunning book in the fabulous "Pierre the Maze Detective" series, this time with a dizzyingly imaginative new adventure set against the backdrop of dreamy Canal City (Venice in all but name) in "Pierre the Maze Detective: The Curious Case of the Castle in the Sky" by Hiro Kamigaki and IC4 Design.
Pierre is one again hot on the trail of a puzzle-solving adventure.
The waterways and streets of Canal City are brimming with people as crowds gather on the eve of the Maze Egg carnival.
But the legendary Maze Egg is gone, and Pierre and Carmen find themselves on the case.
Can you help them return the Maze Egg to its rightful home before it's too late?
Those of you who've seen these books before know what to expect - highly detailed and truly gorgeous illustrations filled with intricate mazes, visual puzzles and hidden objects to find.
The book's colossal format makes it absolutely delightful for sprawling out on the floor with as you race to complete each maze - but don't worry if you get stuck, you can always cast a sneaky glance at the answers at the back of the book (no cheating mind!!)
We've always been completely drawn to these books, they're true works of art in their own right and they offer hour after hour after hour of book-based entertainment to keep your kids well and truly hooked.
Sum this book up in a sentence: A stunning book perfect for puzzle fans, once again featuring the superb creations of Hiro and the awesome team at IC4 Design, drawing you into a fabulous mystery with Pierre and Carmen.
"Pierre the Maze Detective: The Curious Case of the Castle in the Sky" by Hiro Kamigaki and IC4 Design is out on 24th August 2020, published by Laurence King Publishing (kindly supplied for review).
