Review
Logic Lotty: The Fortune Teller's Spoon is a funny and engaging introduction to logic puzzles. Lotty and her friend Gavin must help an eccentric fortune teller recover her missing antique spoon. The author, Paige Petersen, keeps the plot humming with a series of humorous and offbeat suspects. Best of all, she integrates logic charts into the story, showing how Lotty uses deduction and the process of elimination to reach her conclusion. I hope to see further adventures of Logic Lotty! --Michael Weiss, Executive Editor, Logic Puzzles, Penny Publications (Penny Publications is North America's leading publisher of puzzle and fiction magazines.)
Logic Lotty: The Fortune Teller's Spoon is about two kids who solve a mystery using deductive reasoning and critical thinking. It is entertaining, and full of random little occurrences that will delight kids and keep them wondering, "What will come along next?" I would recommend this book to parents and teachers who want to teach deductive reasoning, but still be entertaining. With a fun "do it yourself" section at the end, Logic Lotty: The Fortune Teller's Spoon blends its theme of the logic matrix with a solid story and characters that keep you curious. - --Hans Bluedorn, author of The Fallacy Detective and The Thinking Toolbox
