Each day you read the next section of the story and solve the puzzle that goes with it. The solution leads on to the next door, so the order stays clear and the case holds together right up to 24 December. One of the puzzles is a fashion design pad for drawing ball gowns.

Some tasks need everyday materials from around the house: scissors, sticky tape, felt-tip pens and similar bits and pieces. It is worth putting these together in one place before 1 December so nothing is missing in the morning.

The calendar is made for children of school age who enjoy reading and puzzling, and above all for fans of the detective series. It tells a single case that unfolds over 24 days. Readers who know the series meet Kim, Franzi and Marie again in a new story.

The calendar contains small parts and is therefore not meant for toddlers. As a present it works for St Nicholas Day, as a surprise shortly before Advent or under the Christmas tree for the December to come.

Give the investigation wall a fixed spot at the start, somewhere it can stay for the whole of December. That keeps the clues together and makes it easy to keep track of the case.

• Lay out scissors, sticky tape and felt-tip pens in advance
• Read the story aloud together so the whole family puzzles along
• Collect the gimmicks in one box so nothing gets lost
• Hand it over in good time if it is a St Nicholas gift, so 1 December fits
