A great book for budding detectives! I’d say this book is aimed at 8-12 year olds, and is more along the lines of puzzles, rather than stories that you have go solve

I think this is a brilliant book and it would make for a super gift for young super sleuths!
You begin the puzzles straight away and everything comes down to the reader to discover identities, clues and putting the pieces together.
I had a lot of fun filling in the pages and solving the mysteries.
Add a pencil and some notepaper and you have the perfect present!

My daughter has been enjoying logic problems and puzzles recently so I wanted to take a look at Cluedle as a possible purchase - will definitely be buying!
There looks to be a good variety of puzzles in here that should keep chikdren interested and their brains ticking over, I'd say for kids aged about 8-11, maybe 12.
The theme running through isn't the strongest, but I still think it's decent compared to normal puzzle books that are completely unrelated to the next puzzle.

A fabulous puzzle book for a pre teen to spend a rainy afternoon with. Lots of different types of puzzles keep the interest going. I, going to buy it for my grandchild. Not sure why it wouldn’t send to kindle though, perhaps because of the formatting.

You are now a member of the Hartigan Browne Detective Agency, Browne being arguably Britain’s greatest detective. His success in previous cases has led to him being overworked and in need of some assistance – this is where you come in. Dave the dog has been pup-napped and it is up to you to find out why and who the culprit is. This is the first of many puzzles that will, hopefully, lead you to the discovery of the Dumpleton Diamond.
Although this has been published by Macmillan Children’s Books, it is most definitely not just for children. The puzzles are challenging enough for adults to get enjoyment from with clues to help younger children if they get a bit stuck. There is a good range of puzzles, from codes to logic problems, picture puzzles to anagrams so that there is something here for everyone.
The story that runs through the book is a good one and kept me engaged throughout – this is one of those books where you keep telling yourself, ‘one more page…’ until you have finished it in a couple of sittings!
If you are looking for a slightly different read, one that will get the old grey matter working, then this is the book for you. Great fun for all the family, I am pleased to see that there is already a second book in the pipeline!

This is a most unusual book which the whole family can enjoy. The puzzles and codes kept me and my granddaughter amused for many hours.. The challenge to solve the kidnap of Dave the Dog is filled with humour with challenges in every chapter. We thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope there will be more in the series for our family to enjoy.

A fun interactive book jam packed with puzzles to exercise the “little grey cells”. This would be perfect for ages 7 - 12 with many different types of puzzles to solve and a story to follow along there’s something for everyone.

As a keen reader of mystery fiction, I loved this and as soon as I mentioned it to my class, they were also keen to read and test their problem solving skills. We loved working together to solve some of the problems, especially cracking codes linked to alphabets.
We're already looking forward to book 2.
