Guide/Hidden Mickey Book for older child?

[Oliquig]

Hi I am looking to get a guide book and/or a Hidden Mickey book for my niece for her birthday (Dec 26th.) She will be 11, so what are your thoughts on the right book for her. She loves trivia and adventures, and I think she would really enjoy searching out hidden Mickeys. Thanks for any input, I am planning ahead as I like to get my Christmas (and I include shopping for her birthday in that) shopping done by the end of September.

This is the Hidden Mickey book I have. It has instructions on how to find hidden Mickeys without explicitly telling you where they are. There are also little hunts you can do with point values for finding certain Hidden Mickeys. That's the one I'd recommend!

The Lost Journals

I bought this for my 12yo, 13yo and 15yo for our trip and they really enjoy it, it has trivia and hidden mickeys. They did comment that they would have preferred it wasn't written as if someone were writing in a journal, it got a little cheesy reading it that way. But the info was really interesting and even I enjoyed reading it.

One more thing, they ship really quickly.

we used this book on our last trip. My kids were DS21,DD17 and DD13 at the time and we had a blast playing it. We did not quiet follow the rules in the book but it worked for us. As we entered a ride que, Toy Story for example, I would read the clues then whoever found them received the appointed points. We kept up with it in the book with a pencil then once we got home I totaled up the points. DD21 beat me by 1 point. We will be taking the book again this Christmas.

My DD8 is a big reader and has already torn through the Birnbaum Guide for kids (several times!) so I picked up the Imagineers Feild Guide series for her on the airplane. I have loved flipping through them. They are full of facts, trivia and pictures!

There is one for each park, and they are pocket sized if she wanted to carry them in the park.
