Finn has woken up to discover that goblins have left everything in chaos.  He needs to find his clothes and then his dog, Sep.  In this search and find maze book, Finn follows after his dog in search of the goblins.  This search takes him through garden mazes, underground caves, a castle that is very M.C. Escher, and the sky and water.  Readers will need to find two little soldiers, a present, a platypus pair and goblins as they also try and figure out the beginning and end of each maze. 

The art is fabulous and each page is a different monochromatic color, which can be a plus or a minus, depending on how you feel about that.  The art feels classic yet ground breaking at the same time.   My only grievance is that the text is so small.  Finding all of the hidden objects is a challenge and at times I wasn’t sure if I’d found all of the objects. This will keep searchers busy!
