A story for puzzle-lovers...or a puzzle for story-lovers
"IF YOU NEED IT, WE CAN FIND IT. Specializing in wooden figurines. Prices negotiable. Direct all inquiries to 'The Finders'..."
...the advertisement in the newspaper read. When she saw it, Clorrie believed her luck might be changing for the better. How odd that the advertisement should appear on the very day she happened to be looking for one particular wooden figurine! But things that appear to be coincidence often aren't, and what Clorrie found with The Finders was an adventure she never could have imagined.
Eleven mysterious figurines hold the clues to eleven puzzles for eleven-year-old Clorrie to solve. You can solve the puzzles along with Clorrie, and when you do, you'll be able to decipher the poem that started her off on the adventure of her life.
"In the bright mundite of the afternoon,
Or when all are asleep under light of the wune,
When the chaves of the linnits reach the sand of the scowers,
There it will be you shall see their powers.
Twice there will be in one turn of the purth,
That the mort is the first; the jong five times its worth.
When the fands of kime meet and clasp as lun,
There you will find that your search is done."
