Winston Breen loves puzzles, and he finds them everywhere—books, newspapers, even pizzas. So when Winston and his sister find some strange puzzle pieces in an antique box, it's only natural that Winston try to find out where the box came from and what the words on the puzzle pieces might mean. Soon, Winston and his friends are hunting for a long-hidden treasure, accompanied by the town librarian, a giant ex-policeman, a pretty reporter, and a pair of mysterious strangers who arrive out of nowhere looking for the loot.

 

But it's clear from the start that someone in the group doesn't intend to share the treasure, should it be found.

 

Chock full of puzzles for the reader to solve, this treasure hunt will thrill readers right to the end.

 

“Eric Berlin's delightful mystery has all the kid-detective staples—clues, maps, baffled adults, colorful suspects, buried treasure—but he's also sprinkled in all manner of puzzles, brain-teasers and word games. Reading The Puzzling World of Winston Breen brought back great memories of hours spent poring over Encyclopedia Brown and The Westing Game.” – Ken Jennings, author of Brainiac and Jeopardy! champion
