By navigating mazes and labyrinths, cracking codes, and deciphering hieroglyphics, young readers will discover why Set killed his brother Osiris and chopped him into pieces, how the jackal-headed Anubis first invented mummification, and which heart-eating crocodile is lurking in the afterlife.
Every page features an Egyptian myth retold in a witty, relatable style by Catherine Ard, alongside immersive mazes and puzzles illustrated by Maria Surducan. If Murdle Jr. is for avid readers, the Puzzle Hero series caters to visually oriented young readers who similarly enjoy a challenge.
