Book excerpt: This is not your typical maze book! Welcome a new series that mixes superbly designed mazes and storytelling for an extra dash of excitement and challenge. Embark on five separate quests--including an "Arctic Rescue" set in 1885 and a current day search for an albino jungle snake--each featuring seven mazes that build upon each other. You must complete them in order, and if you don't finish them all, you haven't accomplished your mission. Plus, all the mazes have specific rules--such as never go down the same path more than once--as well as dangers to avoid and items to gather. Along the way, solvers earn points, which get totaled at the end. So grab a pencil...and good luck!
