Gr 2–5—Start a maze craze in your library! Maze books are few and far between in the school library, but these simpler mazes, intended to be followed with a finger, not a pencil or pen, suggest that the books won't get ruined the first time they're used. The difficulty level is just right—not so easy that they can be solved by looking, but not so hard as to demand a pencil. Framed with fun themes, each maze pits a pair of pop-eyed cartoon kids against silly-scary perils and bad guys. Heroes as well as bosses are as diverse as they are kooky. Full-bleed, full-color graphics occupy every scrap of space so that each twist and turn is large enough for a little finger to follow. Reading bonus: each maze's description is chockablock with vocabulary (avalanche, android, rubble, imps).
VERDICT Find your way to these winning books.
