Hi All! Thanks for the replies. They have been great. I had checked all out and they aren't the ones however, after much much much hunting on the internet, something hit me like a bolt of lightening. They had dice in with the tools! I typed that in and it came up with the Famous five adventure game books. They were the book, the the kit aids and that al came in a plastic wallet. There were 8 in that style of book, so I have managed to track them down. I have ordered 5 already!! I am just awaiting the last three to be verified that they are complete. I am also hoping that the 5 I ordered are complete, the lady assured me they were, but it's still making me nervous!! If you don't have the kit there, it renders the book pretty useless!! Thank you all very much for your help

hiya Thanks for the link, I have had a look, and I don't think thats the one. But thank you for the input. The book I am thinking of used to have little tools that were seperate from it, like a grid card that you put over writing (letters etc) and then it would show a hidden message in it! If anyone else knows of any idea's that would be fab. TIA.

Hi All Thanks for the replies. I have looked at alot of usborne books online, but unless they have a read inside, I can get to look at them. I have gone into book shops in this area, buut can't seem to locate them! Book Jumper - if you can have a look that would be great! I have ordered an usborne mystery solver book, just to see if it's that one (only cost 1p plus postage!) So will see if it's that, but I have a funny feeling it's not! If anyone else has some idea's it would be great to hear from you. TIA

when I was younger I borrowed one of my friends books. I am a bit hazy on all the details, but as far as I can remember it had various aids to solving the mystery (in a bit at the back of the book loose but tucked away) including a piece of card that had little squares cut out of it so that you could put it over the top of letters and such and it would reveal a hidden message. The other thing I can vaguely remember was that it would say stuff like " if you think the answer to this is (a) go to page number ...". I know its a long shot but I read it in between the ages of 9-12 which would have been around 1989 onwards. Please can anyone suggest what they might think it is. TIA.
