Mysteries to Solve

The adventure is divided into 31 concise chapters, each of which ends with a puzzle to be solved by finding and interpreting visual clues concealed within a beautiful color illustration. Suited for explorers and sleuths young and old. Children under 8 years may need assistance in solving some of the puzzles. Grade 4 and up.

A Story for the Heart - A Challenge to the Mind

Staying true to the Timmi Tobbson brand, this is a story about friendship.
And about the drive to explore, to inquire and to second-guess. All three
main characters require perseverance and courage to succeed, and
derive the necessary strength from their friendship.

Gets Kids' Eyes Off Screens

Timmi Tobbson books are designed to also engage today's young video gamers and
water their taste for books. One of the main reasons for the appeal of
video games is a frequent feeling of accomplishment. This book is
designed to achieve the same. The 31 concise chapters, each ending with
a puzzle to be solved, provide an equally rewarding experience. The
high-quality visuals are another reason video gaming kids will feel right
at home.

Beautiful Color Illustrations

A Timmi Tobbson adventure always gives readers the best of both worlds, merging the visual appeal of a graphic novel with text-based storytelling's power to spark imagination.

As always, this book contains a puzzle which is unrelated to the story and involves all thirty-one main illustrations.

Spannendes Abenteuer zum Miträtseln
Wir kannten bisher nur Timmi Tobbson Junior und waren unheimlich neugierig auf die "große" Version.

Das Cover verspricht auch hier viel Action. Zu Beginn wird kurz zusammengefasst, was in den vorherigen Bänden bereits geschehen ist. Das war für uns als Quereinsteiger wirklich prima. Auch wird, auch in diesem Band, eine kurze Einweisung in die Rätsel und ihre Schwierigkeitsstufen gegeben.

Im Gegensatz zu dem Juniorbuch ist der Textanteil hier deutlich höher. Genauso gut gelungen sind die durchgehend farbigen, sehr detaillierten Illustrationen, die die Geschichte begleiten und für einige Rätsel unabdingbar sind.

Der Schreibstil ist angenehm und man ist sofort mittendrin im Abenteuer. Durch die Rätsel an jedem Kapitelende und deren Auflösung zum jeweilig nächsten Kapitelanfang ist es schier unmöglich eine Lesepause einzulegen. Wir haben richtig mit den Protagonisten mitgefiebert.

Fazit: Ein interaktives Buch für kleine Kriminalisten, dass keine Wünsche offen lässt!

Це треття книга серії пригод Тіммі Тоббсона, в якій мова піде про піратів, піратські кораблі, скарби й також еліксири, про які розповідалось і в попередній книзі.

Загалом це дуже цікава серія книг, які не лише розповідають якусь історію, але й пропонують читачам багато завдань. Тобто дитина чи батьки читають розділ і після кожного розділу тренують свою уважність, спостережливість, логіку й так далі і намагаються відповісти на запитання в кінці розділу. Наступний розділ починається з відповіді на запитання й історія продовжується далі. Якщо у вас не виходить самостійно відповісти та запитання й не хочеться одразу читати відповідь, то можна скористатися підказками в кінці книги.

Нашим дітям ця серія книг дуже подобається. І ось ці завдання їх приваблюють і сама історія захлоплює і хочеться дізнатися що ж буде далі.

Read with my son. Fun to do a couple pages then solve a puzzle. Though some of the puzzles weren’t as intuitive as we’d like. One puzzle was really impressive.
