Review Quotes

A plethora of engrossing adventures await readers. In addition to the page-turning "Choose Your Own Adventure" element, readers are also given the opportunity, after the first chapter, to choose what type of genre they want to explore (e.g., "Snow White" but with a spy thriller twist or set in the Arctic). . . .Mostly entertaining but with thoughtful elements, these titles will circulate well where fairy tales and the "Choose" format are popular.-- "School Library Journal, "9 Nonfiction Series for Back-to-School Reading""
