Cele trei cadouri misterioase

Tina and her brother Luca get three strange gifts. A note with a hidden meaning adds to the Christmas mystery. Someone has taken Santa, and his flying reindeer and elves are gone. Melitta the spider helps the children learn what happened. So does Rudolph, a greedy reindeer. The tale has tense moments, but warmth too. It asks readers to think anew about what family means.

Eva Eich blends a mystery for children with escape-room puzzles. The book suits readers aged nine and up. It also suits families who read together. It forms part of the Escape Room series. Readers can use it as an Advent calendar before Christmas.

Each chapter has a puzzle readers must solve to go on. The book has 24 sealed spreads of two pages each. Readers solve the puzzles to open them. This makes each puzzle part of the story. Marielle Enders and Tina Hamm supply the art in colour.
