I enjoy brain teasers, mysteries, and puzzles. I enjoy the satisfaction you get when figuring something out that made you have to think. Too often, we just Google an answer and do not have to figure it out for ourselves. 60-Second Brain Teasers Pencil-Free Puzzles: Short Head-Scratchers from the Easy to Near Impossible by Nathan Haselbauer makes you think and is not a book to read in one sitting. Your brain would hurt too much if you did.
Haselbauer includes an array of puzzles that involves logic and some thought to figure out the puzzles. Some of them stumped me. None were too easy.
The puzzles varied in difficulty and process to solve them. Some are logic-based; others involve math. Either way, they are a fun way to use your brain and pass the time.
This book is reminiscent of the Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games I enjoyed so much while growing up. It would be perfect for a road trip or a family gathering.
Several reviewers suggested it helped their children start using their brains again to get ready for back to school.
It is part of a series of 60-Second Brain Teasers published by Fair Winds Press.

I grew up camping, so the setting for this series definitely appealed to me. And that paid off. I would love to visit a place like Jules runs for a relaxing vacation. Unfortunately, the plot was weak. Part of that was my perception based on how much time was passing. However, I do feel like events were substituting for twists in the second half. Still, it did keep my interest the entire way through, and that was partially because of the characters. I loved Jules and the rest of the staff she’s got helping her run this campground. There was enough I enjoyed that I am glad I picked up this book, but I do wish the plot had been stronger.
