I loved this book as a child and 30 years later, it still holds up reading it as an adult :) The illustrations are gorgeous and Graeme Base's humour is evident on every page and every puzzle. Speaking of puzzles, for children, I would say it is challenging - some will be able to complete on their own but I'd say most will require adult assistance. It is just an all 'round enjoyable read with a fun mystery to solve and some other more tricky puzzles to complete. Highly recommend.
