Say goodbye to boring downtime and hello to Puzzlooies!, the latest in portable entertainment.

Each zany adventure is packed with eclectic puzzles to decipher and decode—as well as jokes, riddles, and true trivia galore that’ll keep readers laughing till the very end . . . if they can reach it!

In Don’t Feed Fluffy, accident-prone Carlos has trouble keeping his after-school jobs. He's flooded Superstar Golf Center, caused Cupcake Castle to collapse, coated Waffle Planet in syrup, and even made a mega-mess of Movierama with its own popcorn maker. So when he takes a job from his sister’s dog-walking business, he figures it’ll be easy money. Anyone can handle a cute pup named Fluffy, right? Except there’s more to Fluffy than Carlos realizes . . .
 
Solve the puzzles inside to see if Carlos survives the night. Especially since he's about to break the number one rule: Don’t. Feed. Fluffy!
