Why read it?
1 author picked The Gollywhopper Games as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love the idea of a competition run by a game/toy factory that is its own game that requires solving all kinds of different puzzles. There are brainteasers the reader can try and solve on their own, but it’s also a blast sitting back and reading how the competitors navigate other puzzles, like an obstacle course and maze. Family and friend relationships also play an important role as the main character strives to come out the winner!
From Kim's list on competition/game aspects at the heart of the story.
