The world of the books

Milo Carter’s books turn logic into an investigation. Something has gone missing: the child reads the clues, places the suspects in a grid (only one per row and per column, just like sudoku) and unmasks the one who was alone with the object.

The grids get harder bit by bit, every case comes with a small hint, and every solution is explained step by step. The goal: for children to solve each case on their own, and to understand why.

For ages 6 to 12, in two levels: The Little Detectives (ages 6-8) and The Great Detectives (ages 9-12).
