The Gollywhopper Games by Jody Feldman

5/5 stars


The Gollywhopper Games is a book for those who enjoyed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and who love doing puzzles.  Gil Goodson is trying to help his father get his reputation back and help his family move, after his father was fired from the Golly Game and Toy Company for something he didn't do.  Gil enters a nationwide contest to be chosen to compete in the Gollywhopper Games, a series of puzzles and events involving words, math, history, and physical tests within the Golly company's factory.

The reader can solve the puzzles along with Gil, and along with the national television audience watching all the players' every move.  Will Gil's encyclopedic knowledge of the Golly company and his devotion to his father win the game?
