 | Great Escape Mazes by Roger Moreau
Take part some most daring, courageous escapes of the twentieth century. You'll need to muster your determination, keep your wits about you, and focus on small details in order to complete more than 20 challenging mazes. Forget the boring labyrinths of puzzle books and cereal boxes, these intricate adventures are drawn with striking detail and are all based on historic events. The fun begins right on the cover with a maze featuring the Titanic -- can you get off the sinking liner and reach a lifeboat? Then, put yourself in these other death-defying situations: -- Go along with rescuers trying to save a lost climber on Mount Everest. -- Find a clear tunnel passage to help Allied soldiers break out of the German prisoner-of-war camp Stalag Luft III. -- Help the Dalai Lama avoid capture by Chinese communist troops. -- Guide the crew of the damaged Apollo 13 spacecraft back to earth. -- Determine whether it was possible to escape from the prison on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. As you weed your way from disaster and doom to safety and freedom, you'll learn what the real people faced with these situations had to overcome. Of course, unlike the historic adventurers, you will have the solutions to the mazes at your fingertips at the back of the book. AUTHOR: Roger Moreau
