book- Maze by Christopher Manson

Maze by Christopher Manson

My 11 year old daughter saw this book in the Mindware catalog and asked for it as a gift. It isn't a new title but I've never read it. Can anyone tell me anything about content / concerns?

pilgrim's progress in future guide?

Carrie,
I'm sure I read once that AiG's Pilgrim's Progress may be in a future guide. I REALLY want to buy it now but will wait on you instead if it is still part of the plan :) . Thank you for seeking out the best materials!
