Enigma by Graeme BaseEnigma: A Magical Mystery follows the adventures of young Bertie as he tries to solve the mystery of vanishing magical objects from his grandfather’s retirement home for aged magicians.Published 1 October, 2008 
Enigma: A Magical Mystery follows the adventures of young Bertie as he tries to solve the mystery of vanishing magical objects from his grandfather’s retirement home for aged magicians. There is a wonderful array of exciting characters to meet as Bertie catalogues the items taken from the magicians as well as clues to be found in every picture as the story progresses. The illustrations are absolutely divine and the narrative is endearing as we also see the close relationship that Bertie and his grandfather enjoy. There are minute details in every picture to help the reader solve the mystery as well an ingenious Enigma code panel to explore at the end of the book. The illustrations are drawn with charm and warmth, which is also reflected in the narrative-a perfect combination for the child reader aged three-plus. Enigma: A Magical Mystery is a beautifully illustrated adventure that will be eagerly devoured by discerning fans and convert new readers to Graeme Base’s work. This book will be a must have for schools and libraries and will be booksellers’ most effortless picture book sale as Christmas approaches.
