PixieKris Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hey all, Is there something similar to Hilights magazine geared toward the preteen? My daughter just rediscovered all of these on her bookshelf (after not really being interested at a younger age) and wants to know if they make something that would be even better for an 11 year old. Thanks! Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I've never seen anything, but if you do find it, let us know! My 11 yo dd likes the puzzle books fro the magazine section of the bookstore, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzanne in ABQ Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Highlights makes books called Puzzlemania, that contains only the mazes and puzzles from Highlights. They also have one called Hidden Pictures, and one called Mathmania. Also, she can check out Highlightskids.com for more stories and other fun activities. I just got this information from my 11dd. Hope it helps. I don't know of an older version of Highlights (or anything like it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Highlights also produces two fun geography products. One is called "Which Way, USA" and the other is "Top Secret Adventures". We subscribed to "Top Secret Adventures: for about a year. Each month, your secret-agent-kid gets a kit with a mystery to solve. In order to solve the mystery, they need to learn about the chosen country. There are puzzles and games and a very informative booklet that gives lots of interesting information about the country-of-the-month. "Which Way, USA" is similar, but has an investigative reporter theme. It's full of games and puzzles (based in the states, of course). These aren't really *like* Highlights, but they're produced by Highlights, and they're fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixieKris Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 oh, I forgot about Top Secret Adventure! I bet she'd LOVE that! I think she likes the whole thing - the short stories, the puzzles, hidden pictures, etc. I sent her to the Hilights site as a start, but I love the idea of the top secret adventure. Between that and American Girl Magazine, she should be set! Thanks, Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
