The Abominable Snowman/Journey Under the Sea/Space and Beyond/The Lost Jewels of Nabooti (Choose Your Own Adventure 1-4)

This is a great starting point for reluctant readers and boys who don't know what to choose -- there are more than 30 books in this genre. The stories are set in the real world, but with some mysterious or mythical element to keep the hair up on the back of you neck! The first few pages give you the story line. At the end of each passage, you reach a decision point from which the story unfolds in a direction of your choosing. For example, you can go to the movies with your new friends - jump to page 7 to continue, or you decline and go home and finish your homework instead - go to page 13. Read the books again and change your decision! Be cautious or be daring. Definately would recommend. We bought these for an 8-year-old boy who is reading at a high level. Some content can be scary and suggestive of violence. Also available at some libraries.

In retrospect, R.A. Montgomery might have been the weakest of the early CYOA writers. Plodding development, many unsatisfying choices, MANY endings that seem to simply represent lack of creative energy. Even by low standards of mass market children's writing, these books are clumsy and limited.

I first bought one of the Choose your own adventure books over 20 years ago for my oldest son. Through the years, I have found these to be a book that makes your boys decide they like to read. I bought these latest sets for my grandson and my nephew and they love them. I would highly recommend these books. The kids find themselves wanting to go
back and choose different endings and it becomes a whole new book!

I loved these when I was younger. Most people have never heard of these books!
WHHHAAATT!!??
I have an AMAZING idea to not only increase sales but also for a new generation and audience. I don't know if the company sees these reviews but let me know!

Love these classics! Wow! What a blast from my past. This is a great value so I don't see how you can go wrong, especially when introducing them to a new generation of readers. ***If you have never read this series before you must note that they are a little dated and old fashioned!!!! Please note the publication years.*** That being said, they are still wonderful.

The product arrived in perfect condition in a brown envelope that had bubblewrap coating inside to protect the books. International processing and shipping took around two weeks. Would definitely recommend. I haven't read the books yet so I can't actually comment on them.
Heads up: this edition is not like the old classic one (hardcover), it's also smaller.
