About the author
P.J. Nichols
31 books32 followersP.J. Nichols is an author who really, really loves games. But not the kind you buy at stores. And not the kind you practice and practice and practice to get good at. He likes the games you think up and make by yourself.
No matter where he is, or what things are around him, P.J. will find a way to create a game. One where you race. Or one where you build. Or one where you think. Or maybe even one where you do all three.
Back when he was growing up with his three brothers in Canada, he was constantly making games. Neighborhood kids (and even some of their parents) would run over to join in. There was never a boring moment in or around the Nichols’ house.
P.J. is sure that his debut novel, Puzzled, will have you rushing to think up games for your friends, brothers, sisters, or parents to try!

This is an adventure book about middle school age kids using common sense puzzles and make believe to win a supernatural challenge presented to them by the god of weather. The importance of working as a team and encouraging each person in using their specific strengths is a big part of the plot in this children’s book. If you are a Christian, this may not be the book for you.

I tried to read this to my 7yo at bedtime. I found it trite and boring. Additionally the stereotype of nerd vs jock and girl must become girlfriend were less than fun.

I read this book aloud to my kids while on a week long camping trip. They LOVED it. We would spend hours reading each night by the campfire because they were so eager to know what was going to happen next. We look forward to reading more books by P.J. Nichols.

Giving my honest review because I really wanted to like this book and I think it would be really up a lot of kids' alleys, but it could have used a few more rounds of edits. It has a really fun premise and a cool setup, but the plot itself follows the predictable outline of a generic adventure story, and the breakneck pace of the story makes it difficult to feel anything for the characters even though they have a lot of personality. A lot of other reviewers here are right, the story doesn't drag on or add unnecessary details, but it goes so far as to cut out all the "down time" where we might just get to spend time with the characters or discuss what the stakes of the conflict actually mean to them (which only receive cursory, theoretical mention).
The writing style is simple and easy to follow, which is ideal for a middle-grade book, but as it stands in this novel it's still a developing voice. For instance, the narrator often comments on the main character's conclusions about an event before even presenting the details of the event or presenting the evidence that led him to those conclusions. And yes, there are some copy-editing mistakes that break the suspense.
Also, as a nerd, I always appreciate nerd validation, but not when it tears down people with other interests. This book shows hints of that, though of course unintentionally. The MC's teachers might be boring for him to listen to, but seeing them portrayed as caricatures is a little disheartening, and the way the MC treats his older brother is actually pretty toxic—the jock hates the nerd and the nerd hates the jock, but in this instance the jock hardly ever goes beyond mild teasing (and even does a lot of very nice things for the nerd) but is still treated as a mean, spiteful, and irrational human being by the nerd.
I'd love to buy puzzle books from this author, since he's really good at creating unique puzzles, but the story aspect could use a little honing.

Puzzles are a great way to keep your mind sharp, but who would have thought that the ability to quickly and cleverly solve puzzles would help to save the world in P.J. Nichols's Puzzled.
To read this, and other book reviews, visit my website: http://makinggoodstories.wordpress.com/.
An incredibly clever problem-solver with a love of learning his peers mock, junior high school student Peter finds himself at the center of an unthinkable adventure that relies upon his solving skills. Enlisting the help of his older brother and two friends from school, Peter embarks on a quest to train and hone their physical and mental skills to successfully be able to complete eight progressively more difficult riddle-filled challenges within a single day; doing so will help to ensure that the world is safe from a supernatural being who is able to manipulate the weather and has a proclivity toward destruction for his amusement.
A quick and amusing read with short chapters, the story moves briskly through month-long spans of time during the "training montage" that allows the momentum to remain steady and build some tension for the main showdown. The narrative emphasizes different types of intelligence and demonstrates how each kind has their strengths that benefit the group. With moderate world-building with regard to the supernatural being and cursory character development, more could be elaborated upon to make the world and story become more engrossing, though younger readers might not recognize the rudimentary structure of the tale.
Overall, I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Unlocking Mysteries
It is a captivating introduction to a thrilling and interactive middle-grade series filled with mysteries, puzzles, and a sense of adventure. This book sets the tone for a puzzle-solving journey, where readers are invited to join the protagonists as they unravel clues and dive deep into complex mysteries.
Plot Overview:
The story follows a group of curious and intelligent kids who find themselves entangled in a mystery that requires them to use their wits, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. The central mystery is built around a series of interconnected puzzles that the characters must solve, with each puzzle unlocking new layers of the overarching enigma.
Strengths:
1. **Engaging Puzzles**: The puzzles are cleverly woven into the plot, making the reading experience interactive. Readers, especially younger audiences, will enjoy trying to solve the puzzles alongside the characters.
2. **Relatable Characters**: The protagonists are well-drawn and relatable, each bringing a unique skill set to the group, which emphasizes the importance of teamwork and diversity in problem-solving.
3. **Fast-Paced Plot**: The book is fast-paced, with enough twists and turns to keep young readers engaged. Each chapter ends with a mini-cliffhanger, which makes it hard to put down.
4. **Educational Value**: Beyond the entertainment value, the book subtly promotes critical thinking, logic, and perseverance. It's a great way to engage young minds in solving problems while enjoying a gripping story.
Weaknesses:
1. **Character Development**: While the characters are fun, some of them could use a bit more depth. There are moments where the focus on puzzles overshadows character growth and emotional development.
2. **Complexity of Puzzles**: Some puzzles may be a bit too complex for younger readers, which could lead to frustration. However, this may encourage collaboration with friends or parents, turning reading into a shared experience.
Conclusion:
It is an exciting and engaging start to a series that combines the thrill of mystery with the intellectual challenge of puzzle-solving. It's perfect for middle-grade readers who love a good adventure and enjoy exercising their brains along the way. While there are minor shortcomings, the book succeeds in creating an immersive and interactive reading experience that leaves you eagerly awaiting the next installment.

" A Brilliant, Imaginative, Fantastic Fantasy all wrapped in a 200-page anticipatory page-turning adventure-thrilling novel."
Author Peter J. Nichols can capture the moment in this well-written novel series and provides any reader a "retroactive" journey back to ones' childhood/pre-teens stage(s) of life. The integration of a simple, but natural evolution of a "first kiss" romance was depicted in all the chapters of this adventure-thriller as depicted between the books' main characters...Peter and Nicola. This evolving romance between them was a memory check when life was not so complicated during their golden age of preteens. The novel is filled with puzzles, games, challenges in which the weather-controlling, spiritual character of "Zoltan" keeps readers on their seat's edge and guessing for the right solution throughout this awesome novel.. with sometimes life and death consequences between the overall success or failure of the challenges at hand! Remarkably authentic in the manner in which P.J. Nichols chooses his depiction of events making this book a hard to put down... work of written discourse!
"Intelligent layout, enjoyable, user-friendly mental capacities prose, wrapped into the challenges of solving riddles, puzzles and games leading into each chapter" !
Well done.. Mr. P.J. Nichols ! This novel is easily on par for "a potential made for movie/TV script". Great read!

disappointing and slightly problematic
I really wanted to like this book but I didn’t
The writing is overly simple repetitive with errors
I was expecting more puzzles I could do but there was only 2 and one of those was full or issues
I managed to suss out some of the others too before they did
Now onto the problematic stuff
Peter our main protagonist is a “nice guy” type
The type who claims to be a nice guy but when rejected goes a little psycho
This dude firstly felt he needed an excuse to have a girl on his team and said that the rules stated each team needs at least one girl
Because of course why else would anyone possibly ever have a girl on their team unless they were forced to ???? What?
Then when he assumes someone else had made moves on this girl who he hasn’t even told he liked he gets raging mad and punches a locker
And calls the person a girlfriend stealer
Dude she isn’t your girlfriend you entitle douche
There is a lot of aggression shown by all the male characters but especially Peter who regularly gets wound up and hits things
None of this is addressed
Also the plot is just really shaky and not thought out
Like me Winchester scoffs that Peter might believe in magic because it’s all smoke and mirrors but then wants him to believe in gods ??
Overall just disappointing

🔹️Genre: mystery/adventure

🔹️Entertainment Level:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It centres around the character Peter, who is known by most of his peers as a 'nerd'. He happens to be a very smart kid with great analytical thinking when it comes to maths. Well lucky (or not) for Peter, this talent means that he is needed to prevent the world, as they know it, changing forever. With the help of his friends, they must use their knowledge combined to solve the puzzles in front of them, or a supernatural being will wreak havoc over the world they live in.
I decided to read this book after looking at the reviews, and I thought it was great. The descriptions of the puzzles and how they were laid out gave you a good visual idea of what it may look like.I liked where at the end of the page it encourages you to try and think of a solution before you turn over and see how the characters solve it. It reminded me a little of Alice in Wonderland with the puzzles. My only downside would be the ending. For me, in comparison to the adventure in the book, it ended quickly.

Outside, the weather is getting horrendously stormy and no one, not even weather analysts, can identify what is causing the source. One day, Peter meets a man who gives him a puzzle and that snowballs into an adventure to try to complete a set of puzzles that are going to make him the chief Puzzle Maker for Zoltan
- Earth's weather god. However, it doesn't come easy and, with the help of his friends Neil, Nicola and Brad, they try to conquer the challenges to try and stop the bad weather and create puzzles for Zoltan. Will they do it?
This book was simple with a unique plot but was written in a succinct, easy-to-read way. The characters worked well together and I enjoyed reading their story. The puzzles added an extra excitement to the book and I really liked trying to solve them with the characters. For me, this book was simple but good.

Puzzled — P.J. Nichols (17 chapters) December 10-12, 2019
Nerdy dork boy Peter is tasked with saving the world from an anger weather god. A best girl friend from childhood, Nicola, who has drifted from him once they entered middle school and another nerdy boy, Neil, along with Bradley, Peter’s older athletic brother, round out the characters that help Peter in his endeavor.
There are other underlining stories going on here, but they all work well together.
This is a very good story for the younger bunch to read.It got adventure, paranormal events, and even a cute little boy/girl friend story. I enjoyed it. You may too.
Three stars.

I found this book really good as I generally love riddles and strategy games. How he displays the characters is incredible it's like I just want to be there, in the book! I stayed up all night reading this!
(SPOILER ALERT!!!!!)
I love the variety of riddles and how organised it is. When they do the series of puzzles that Zoltan has set for them, each one is more breath-taking than the next. They found ingenious ways to solve the obstacles even with a player down.
I also absolutely love the fact that it wasn't easy or straightforward! They kept pushing and being resilient!
Keep writing, P.J.NICHOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2.5 stars rounded up
So I was expecting a fun middle grade book filled with riddles and puzzles I could help solve, there were 2 that were posed to the reader as well, the rest all became revealed as the characters solved them. There were also mistakes, not just typos but actual errors in the puzzles themselves. The writing wasn’t the best, it was very simple and tell not show, and I wasn’t keen on how quickly the boys got angry and started kicking or hitting things in frustration - not the best message for young readers. It was a quick read and I liked the idea of this book but it missed the mark for me

I realize that this book is for a young audience and while the overall story holds together, the lack of background detail leaves the reader with more questions than answers. The characters are solid and the puzzle-solving adventure has some nice twists. The manuscript could do with an editor to fix a number of areas where there are clear errors in the text that are distracting at times. A nice start, but some more development would have been helpful.

This book was nice, and it’s name describes it. This book has many puzzles in it, and I’m not about to say they’re easy! The reason? It’s because Zoltan, the weather god of earth, is destructing the place, as it is his only form of ‘entertainment’, the other is puzzles, but Mr. Winchester is too old to take the job of creating puzzles. That’s why Peter must replace him, he and his team practice. And the ending? Well, you’ve guessed, Peter does replace him!!

Short and sweet with no "fluff" or extraneous details. Left me wanting more and even a little bit more background information on the characters themselves but not a bad debut by P.J. Nichols. Definitely still have questions that hopefully get answered in Book #2. Look forward to when it's released.

I'm always on the lookout for new books for my stepson. This is a good book for him to learn problem solving skills. It's also an entertaining book for kids who like mysteries and puzzles. It's written in a way kids think, which can be annoying for adult readers. But it's a great book for its target audience.

If you like solving puzzles (like how to make a rabbit change color with a pen, a carrot, and a box - but you can't color the rabbit with the pen) then this is the book for you. There is a plot-line too in that the kids have to solve all the puzzles within the allotted time or the weather god will wreak havoc on earth because he's bored.
The kids all read as white, they play fairly stereotypical roles such as jock, nerd, crush, etc. It was fine for what it is.

It is a cleverly written story.
I enjoyed the book immensely! The reason for this story is to find out how 5 people learned to work together to change the weather. The reason I read it was the humor, the puzzles, the character's personalities and relationships.
P.S. I'm not a kid. I'm a great grandma.
