Personal Opinion: I really liked the book "The Potato Chip Puzzles." It was a well- written book with lots of action and suspense. The main character, Winston, really reminds me of myself. We both enjoy puzzles, except he is much better at them than me! I recommend this book to people who like puzzles beacuse there were puzzles during the book frequently, so you could be solving the puzzles with Winston, Jake, Mal, and Mr. Garvey.
Book Review: Winston is called into the principal's office unexpectedly one day to help the principal 'crack the code'. The school had recived a note that had a secret puzzle, and Winston was the puzzle expert. It turned out that the puzzle was an invitation to a puzzle competition. Winston was invited for sure, and he was allowed to bring his friends. Mainly in return of favor, for decoding the puzzle. The kids needed to be represented with an adult, and the advanced math teacher, Mr. Garvey, was the one to help. Mr. Garvey did not like Winston's friends and wanted his smartest student to come instead of Jake and Mal. Just out of luck, Mal and Jake get to tag along. A few days later at the puzzle competition, Mr. Garvey, Jake, Mal , and Winston find that their competitors are willing to play dirty.
