Intrepid Ivor is faced with the chilling prospect of unlocking the evil secrets of Blood Castle. The only problem is that you, the intrepid reader, are required to help him in this daunting task. Quite amusing distraction for middle, possibly upper, juniors on a wet afternoon in the middle of February, although I'm not too sure about even that. The humour is not humorous enough, the jokes aren't quick and clear, and the idea of anyone helping to solve anything from a non-existent plot is difficult to swallow. Still, someone has taken a lot of time and trouble working out intricate little plans and drawings.
