Thanks to Vernon Oickle “The Dean of Nova Scotia Authors” for the chat about his new book: Nova Scotia’s BEST Word Search Book Vol. 1.
For lovers of word search books, this volume features 80 puzzles all about Canada’s Ocean Playground, providing you hours of entertainment to both the novice word search puzzler and the seasoned pro!
More than a puzzle book, Nova Scotia’s BEST Word Search Book is also packed full of intriguing information, from tidbits about unsavoury privateers to fun facts about savoury rappie pie.
You’re sure to learn a lot.

Test your skills on dozens of subjects, including bands from Nova Scotia, the Shag Harbour UFO Incident, Mi’kmaq words, unusual provincial place names, birds, Olympians, common surnames, endangered species, well-known actors, islands of Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia sports teams (past and present), historical figures, hurricanes that impacted the province, Bluenosers’ slang words, inventions, NHL hockey players, famous African Nova Scotians, the Oak Island Treasure Hunt, some of my favourites: the donair, and an ode to Cape Breton!
