The Goozillas!: Escape from the Monstrous Maze

Trapped inside a maze that keeps rearranging itself, Max and his gooey companions have to outwit its creatures before the walls close in on them for good. This Goozillas outing runs on the same mix of speed, mess and comedy as the rest of the series, with traps at every turn and a monster around most corners. Illustrations appear throughout, chapters end on small cliffhangers, and the vocabulary stays within reach of a seven-year-old reading alone. The result is a book that keeps moving, which matters a great deal for children who measure progress in pages rather than chapters. A closer look: • A maze plot that supplies constant small goals along the way • Monsters played for laughs instead of genuine fright • Lively artwork spread through the text at regular intervals • Language pitched for confident readers of seven to ten Well matched to children moving into independent reading, and a practical pick for school libraries and gift lists; published by Oxford University Press and stocked at Boipoka.
