Ms. Pennypickle’s Puzzle Quest

COMING OCTOBER 14th!

Unlike jigsaw puzzle pieces, brothers Benji and Ethan Broderick just don’t fit very well together.

Twelve-year-old Benji loves retro arcade games and brain teasers. His big brother, eighteen-year-old Ethan, would rather play sports and hang out with friends. About the only thing they have in common is how much they resent their parents forcing them to go on a cross-country summer road trip together.

But, at the quirky Pancake Palace where the brothers make their first stop, they discover a clue inviting them to join a giant puzzle race from Chicagoland to Los Angeles. If the boys can solve a series of challenges created by Ms. Pennypickle, an eccentric master puzzler, they could win one million dollars! (It’s like “The Amazing Race” but with more puzzles and less bungee jumping.)

The catch? The Broderick boys aren’t the only family competing for the top prize. As they race along Route 66 unraveling clues, solving puzzles, and dodging opponents, the brothers find a lot more than answers to a few riddles. With so much at stake, can Benji and Ethan get along long enough to win Ms. Pennypickle’s ultimate prize?
