Overview
Vampires hanging out in the living room, Dr. Frankenstein in his lab, and a good witch who wants her stolen broomstick back: Rob and Kelly thought their vacation at grandpa's would be boring, but instead it's filled with thrills. That's because the house is haunted! On their very first evening the kids fall through a trapdoor and discover a weird world below. Off they go on an obstacle course through bats, traps, a cellar full of rats, and a spooky band of skeletons making music. How well can you navigate through this wonderfully creepy and strange universe?Synopsis

Can you help Rob and Kelly rescue a broom from the evil vampire and give it to the good witch? This is a book that combines a simple story line with solving a puzzle by asking children to complete spooky mazes in order to help Rob and Kelly rescue a broom for a good witch that they meet at the first of the book. Each page has at least one new puzzle; some pages have three and four. Children can spend hours completing the mazes and puzzles. The mazes will take them underground through secret passages, into Frankenstein's laboratory, into a cave of bats, into a room with a skeleton rock band named "The Bones," and even into a tunnel with a maze of pipes. All that is required to complete the puzzles is a little bit of imagination and a pencil. This clever book is designed to teach children to think through puzzles and mazes. It will be especially enjoyed during the Halloween season. 2003, Sterling Publishing Co, Ages 6 to 10.
