A Very Bookish Halloween Word Search & Mystery: An Original Short Story with 12 Clues Hidden Across 72 Large-Print Puzzles, 6 Coloring Pages & Book Club Activities

Word search books are everywhere; this one is different – it has an original mystery short story tied to the clues inside the puzzles, book club activities, an October reading list, and more.

It is a cozy-spooky Halloween activity book for book lovers, cozy mystery readers, book clubs, puzzle fans, and anyone who wants the shiver without the gore. Large print throughout.
Great as a fall gift for readers, grandparents, teachers, librarians, or anyone who has ever refused to put a book down.

If you have ever wished a puzzle book gave you a reason to keep turning the page, this one does. Read a chapter. Solve the puzzles. Collect the clues. Name the culprit before midnight.

No filler grids.
No tiny print.
No book you finish and forget.

Just one October night, one missing chapter, and seventy-two puzzles hiding the evidence.

A Very Bookish Halloween Word Search & Mystery combines 72 large-print word search puzzles with an original six-chapter mystery written for this book. Winnie Malone has been the librarian of Harvest Hollow for exactly three weeks. On Halloween night, the final chapter of a hundred-year-old novel disappears from its locked case — a chapter that has never finished writing itself, and that stops changing forever at midnight. Nobody left the building. Nothing was torn. Twelve of the puzzles hide the evidence.
