Created by Ivan Moscovich, a world-renowned inventor of games, puzzles, and toys, each book comes with a three-dimensional, interactive puzzle on the cover, and dozens of full-color illustrated problems on the same theme inside.

There are magic squares, magic hexagons, magic triangles. Plus Pixel Craft. Think of a Number. The Spider Web Puzzle and Cut the Cake.
The most important skills needed to solve these puzzles are curiosity and an open mind. (Solutions and explanations are provided, of course!)
