Written in the second-person, the reader is the hero of the story who makes decisions along the way. When drought has dried up the soil and withered the crops in your village, you set out to seek help from kachinas—spirits that will pray to the rain gods and hopefully save your village. Mystical owls and enchanting bears cross your path, but is the prospect of survival near? Choose Your Own Adventure is the 4th bestselling children's book series of all time. Empowering generations of children through choice, it is widely commended for its appeal to reluctant readers.
