Waldo is back in the spotlight! If you can find him . . . Use a paper “spotlight searcher” as a magic flashlight to illuminate six magnificent movie scenes.

Follow Waldo and friends as they wander through film-studio sets and out on location in this sensational search-and-find adventure. With the help of the enclosed spotlight searcher, pan across a variety of movie-related scenes—from scary science fiction to monster fantasy, cozy costume drama to historical epic, sporting glory to a glittering awards ceremony—in search of Waldo, his supporting cast of pals, and more. And don’t miss the bonus features: games, mazes, and searches waiting to grip you on every page. All light-up magic is cleverly designed with paper (no batteries called for), and extra spotlight searchers are available online for printing. So, ready? Places everyone? Action!

“Where’s Waldo?: The Magnificent Movie Spotlight Search” by Martin Handford is a super cool addition to the “Where’s Waldo” catalog of books. This newest one encourages readers to take the spotlight searcher that is attached to the back of the front cover of the book and use it to light up the movie scenes to find everything that is hiding throughout the pages.

There are lots of different scenes to be searched, including a science fiction double feature, a mythical epic tale, a monster movie, costume drama, a sports blockbuster, and a big finish with glamour and sparkle. It is a unique way to search for Waldo, his friends, and all of the items that are missing.

Anyone who has ever searched for Waldo (and even those who haven’t and this is their first time) will find the magic in these pages as they interact in a whole new way with Waldo’s world.
