Jody Feldman's popular, award-winning novel about a group of kids playing the Gollywhopper Games—the fiercest toy company competition in the country—will appeal to fans of The Amazing Race and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!
Gil Goodson has been studying, training, and preparing for months to compete in the Gollywhopper Games. Everything is at stake. Once Gil makes it through the tricky preliminary rounds and meets his teammates in the fantastical Golly Toy and Game Company, the competition gets tougher. Brainteasers, obstacle courses, mazes, and increasingly difficult puzzles and decisions—not to mention temptations, dilemmas, and new friends (and enemies)—are all that separate Gil from ultimate victory. An interactive and inventive page-turner perfect for young readers who love to solve puzzles!

I read this book because my friend recommended it. it was fun.
When Gil's dad is falsely accused of stealing money at a toy company, Gil gets mad. Really mad. And when his dad's ex-company hosts a competition to win a whole lot of money, this seems like the perfect chance for Gil to get revenge. But it won't be easy. Gil has to work faster than star-student Lavinia, outsmart Rocky and Thorn, a pair of cheaters up to no good, and convince everyone that he's playing fair. This book also lets the reader solve the same puzzles that Gil does. See if you can solve them faster than he can! Are you ready? Because the Gollywhopper Games is about to start!
