I can still remember the first time I saw and read a Choose Your Own Adventure book.
My grandfather worked at a pharmacy up the road. There was a little rack with different Choose Your Own Adventure books on it.
He told me to pick one out.
I did, then walked the few blocks to my grandmother’s house and read the book outside on her stairs.
It was thrilling to be able to have some control of the outcome. I think these days they refer to it as Executive Function. I just thought it was cool.
And something bad would happen or I would die in the book.
Then I’d learn not to make that choice again, and start over.
I’d race through the beginning, and make the other choice this time.
And by doing that I’d veer off into another adventure.
I’d always loved books and felt like they were compact adventures. But this was an entirely different ball game.
I am putting the final touches on the haunted house book. There are a lot of different adventures tucked away in the book.
My idea for this was to make sure that no matter what path one might wind up on, they have a cool adventure.
Still, there is only one way to survive. One path out.
If you can figure it out, you’ll live.
If you can’t, well I hope you’ll have a fun time.
