More about the book
Think fast to unravel each mystery and uncover the Legend of the Star Runner. Timmi Tobbson and his friends follow clues from a centuries-old family legacy in a race against time to save a dear friend. With only twenty-four hours to uncover the legend of a long-lost pirate ship buried beneath the city streets, their quest unknowingly awakens a mystical dark power, determined to protect what lies hidden aboard the once-famous Star Runner. The adventure is structured into 31 concise chapters, each concluding with a puzzle that challenges readers to find and interpret visual clues within beautiful color illustrations. This engaging format is suitable for explorers and sleuths of all ages, though children under 8 may require assistance with some puzzles. The book beautifully merges the visual appeal of a graphic novel with the imaginative power of text-based storytelling. The characters are inspired by well-known actors and their iconic roles: Marvin reflects Gaten Matarazzo's Dustin from Stranger Things; Sir London channels Christopher Lloyd's Dr. Emmet Brown from Back to the Future; Lotterlulu draws from Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean and Dustin Hoffman's Hook character; The Guardian resembles Danny DeVito; and Lilli's Grandpa is inspired by Sean Connery's portrayal in The Last Crusade. Additionally, a puzzle unrelated to the story involves all thirty-one main illustrations.
