This sounds an awful like those choose your own adventure books that were out in the early 1980's. I love that it gives the power to the child to make up their own mind how the adventure will turn out.
ReplyDeleteHi :) Yes, definitely like those types of books from the 80's. I remember loving them as a kid but always used to cheat to get the better ending ha ha. It is something different to the norm and might just inspire those reluctant readers to have a go. Thanks for commenting!
