They take parts of stories we've already read and rewrites them slightly so you have to answer a question or solve a mystery.

i.e. Molly Saves the Day-they take the part where Dorinda is explaining her plan for the blue team to capture the flag, the same plan that is explained in the original story, but adds some different dialogue and some different text, leaving other text the same(like Dorinda's comment to Molly about swimming underwater). When all the girls head out in the canoes, Dorinda brags that she deserves to be the captain and talks about spending hours outside all summer practicing in the canoes. While Dorinda is talking Molly notices how tall, skinny and pale she is. Then Molly tells Susan while they're in their canoe that Dorinda is a liar and Susan asks why? They then leave you to answer that question. I won't answer it although this one is pretty obvious.

There are some others where the answer isn't so obvoius and I would have never guessed if I didn't look at the answer in the back. As I mentioned there are a couple where you have to draw out a chart(or fill in the one in the book) so those are a little more complex, like trying to figure out who knitted which square in the blanket Molly's class sends to her father.
