Cube countdown

The reader uses their knowledge of shapes, geometry and patterns to decide how the plot unfolds in this enthralling maths adventure. A thief has stolen the cube at the heart of the world's most important computer. Unless the cube is recovered, there will be chaos. The countdown is on.

'Cube countdown' looks at the maths and science of puzzles. Readers are put to the test in a series of shape, geometry and pattern puzzles that will take them into outer space. The 'Rubik's quest' series 'Mission Invent' is part of a larger series of four exciting books. It takes readers on an engaging adventure into the science and maths behind the Rubik's cube. The series allows children to achieve a sense of 'creating your own adventure story', a theme used in QED's previous and largely successful 'Quest series.
