Once you pick up Bend Your Brain it is hard to put it down. It is filled with 151 puzzles, tips and tricks that blow and grow your mind. There are five sections - Visual Perception, Word Skills, Critical Thinking, Coordination, and Memory. There is a wide variety of puzzles ranging from easy to hard.
I sat down with my 16 year old daughter and worked through a lot of the puzzles together and what fun we had! Some of the puzzles were challenging, but that just gets your brain working all the harder.
Since I am a homeschool mom these type of books always intrigue me. I have purchased several "mind bending" type puzzle books through the years and I have to say this is the best I've seen. The puzzles are new and fresh and unlike any that I have seen in previous books. The directions are clear, examples are given when needed and the answers are in the back of the book in case you get completely stumped or just want to check and see if you are right.
The only negative thing I have to say about the book is that many of the puzzles require writing and once you write on the puzzle that's it. I like a book that can last for several uses, so we used a pencil, wrote light and then erased so someone else in the family could try the same puzzle. So it still worked, but that was the only draw back I found.
