William Wenton and the Impossible Puzzle (William Wenton and the Luridium Thief)

By Bobbie Peers

Suitable age: 8 and above

Written by Bobbie Peers, this book concerns a cryptology prodigy, William Wenton. After the sudden disappearance of his grandfather, his family ferries him away to Norway, changes their last name, and attempted to diminish Williams puzzle breaking skills. This all breaks apart when William solves world famous puzzle; the impossible puzzle, then he begins to attract all sorts of people’s attention, and not all are good people. Peers makes good use of wit and creativity to invent minor characters, especially the robots. The plot is interesting but the characters are forgettable and the book is clumsily written. This book need impossibly more work.
