Jump on the Murdle craze with hours of immersive puzzle- and mystery-solving fun for kids, teens, and families! Complete a series of intergalactic mini-mysteries in this puzzle book packed with illustrations, clues, codes, and a helpful mystery-solving logic grid. Think Clue meets Sudoku!

Team up with the toughest junior sleuths around as a detective in their crew! While Jake is racing to solve the case of her missing teacher back in elementary school, her detective friends are a universe away solving their own gravity-defying mystery. On a spacecraft far from Earth, Julius is investigating an astrological anomaly, Buster McPaws is looking for a secret spy in a moon base, and Olivia is uncovering a secret hidden in a virtual reality game. It’s absolute chaos, but chaos is the perfect backdrop for a mystery—and you’re invited to solve it along with them.

Packed with illustrations, codes, maps, mazes, and hours of puzzle-solving fun, Murdle Jr. is an introduction to a mind-bending world kids will love to dive into, using logic and the power of deduction to figure out each whodunnit.

The first Murdle Jr. novelization Sleuths on the Loose is a companion for this puzzle book, with some Easter egg puzzles to solve between the pairing of books, for readers with the keenest of eyes!
