Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Akin to The Eleventh Hour, this über-puzzle of a picture book asks readers to crack codes and find hidden pictures, all in aid of solving a mystery relayed in rhyming quatrains. Young Bertie Badger arrives at the opulent country home of his grandfather, "a conjurer of note" known as Gadzooks the Great, anticipating an extraordinary magic show, but-horrors!-Gadzooks's and the other performers' props have disappeared. Readers could simply hunt for the missing objects, which Base conceals within elaborately detailed paintings, but then they would miss out on the tricky fun of mastering several codes also embedded in the book-not to mention that finding those hidden pictures without benefit of the encoded clues isn't easy, not even for alums of Where's Waldo?For the impatient, Base supplies a huge hint; where Eleventh Hour forced the desperate to break a seal to get answers, readers need not alter anything to avail themselves of help, making this volume a cinch to share. A set of bonus challenges will keep kids (and older siblings) poring closely over the pages for weeks, enthralled. Ages 5-10. (Sept.)

From The Critics
It is a treat, simply to open this book. It is beautifully designed and has a handsome typeface. The illustrations are gorgeous, sprawling across the page, rich with hidden detail and obvious charm. Best of all, the verse is sweet and patient and funny: "Her trick was reading minds, but now her own had gone astray—'Poor Polly's lost her crackers!' was the only thing she'd say." It seems Gadzookes the Great has lost his wand. Without it the greatest magician of his time cannot do magic. But who might have taken it? Could it be the Bear of Wrath or the floating panda Hoo Min Foo? Mistress Hypnosis perhaps or the terrible toothless tiger? Gadzooks own grandson Bertie investigates them all. Each is a magician of note and each has lost an essential magical tool. Though clues are scattered everywhere, Bertie does not solve the mystery. A timely confession does. Unfortunately the thief cannot remember where the stolen magical items are. It is up to the reader to discover that by searching the pages very carefully or deciphering the code, with the help of a code book cleverly built in to the back cover. A wonderful book!

    Graeme Base does it again!

    Another fantastic book by Graeme Base. The illustrations are divine and the story kept my children wanting to see what was going to happen next. They poured over the pages looking for clues and have returned to this book again and again looking for the hidden secrets on each page. A great book to read to younger children and older children will love trying to solve the mystery.
