Our Goal
At Solve to Survive, our mission is to pull kids away from screens and into stories that ignite their imagination and challenge their minds. We believe great storytelling doesn’t just entertain—it draws readers in and engages their imagination. Each Solve to Survive book is packed with heart-pounding action, clever puzzles, and clues that demand critical thinking. As kids turn the pages, they’re part of the story—solving, decoding, and uncovering what happens next. Our goal is simple: to inspire kids with stories that push them to think, stretch their courage, and realize they’re smarter and braver than they ever imagined.
