Elizabeth Carpenter offers a compelling twist on the genre that will inspire both creativity and curiosity. Very different from the childhood mazes you're familiar with, each of these intricate puzzles exercises the critical part of the brain as you work your way through the winding paths. Review "A striking addition to anyone's coloring book or puzzle collection. Each mandala maze has been printed twice, so that puzzlers have a repeated chance to solve them, as well as to color in the images once each maze has been successfully navigated to the end." 5 STARS -Mike Ploetz, Red City Review From the Inside Flap The 30 mazes included in the book are as stimulating as they are beautiful. Art fans will appreciate the detail of every image, and puzzle enthusiasts will be thoroughly engaged by the twists and turns of the maze running through each one! Each maze is presented twice, for double the pleasure in the solving, in sharing, and, if you desire, in decorating with color. All pages are perforated, allowing for easy removal and display. Both contemplative and calming, these mandala-based mazes are compelling and inspiring. From the Back Cover A PERFECT BLEND OF ELEGANCE AND MASTERY! Once you discover the secret paths in these beautiful mandalas, you'll be instantly hooked on the meditative journey from start to finish. Solving the fun and stimulating brain-teasers is an incomparable activity that blends both the creative and critical parts of the mind. It's the ultimate pairing of beauty and challenge for all.
