From the award-winning author of Game of Fox & Squirrels and Every Bird a Prince, Jenn Reese delivers a spellbinding middle grade mystery that will have young readers racing through the pages. Puzzleheart is a captivating adventure where a house itself becomes a character—unpredictable, secretive, and possibly dangerous.
Twelve-year-old Perigee is a born problem-solver with a scientific mind and a heart full of good intentions. When their dad needs cheering up, Perigee hatches the perfect Plan: a road trip to reconnect him with his estranged mother and finally explore the legendary “Eklunds’ Puzzle House,” the mysterious bed & breakfast their grandparents built but never opened. But what should be a family reunion becomes something far more extraordinary.
The House has other ideas. Corridors shift without warning. Strange paintings watch from the shadows. Encoded messages appear everywhere. And Grandma—prickly, secretive Grandma—has forbidden all games and riddles. As family tensions rise and the storm outside intensifies, the House grows truly perilous: deadly puzzles materialize, knives spin through hallways, staircases vanish into thin air.
To save their family and escape the House’s grip, Perigee and their new friend Lily must unravel a decades-old riddle buried at its heart. Perfect for fans of mysteries, magical realism, and stories celebrating LGBTQ+ characters and multigenerational families, Puzzleheart reminds us that the most complex puzzles are often matters of the heart.
