Did you ever read the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series?

When I was young I used to borrow these from the school library as often as I could. The idea is on each page you are presented with a piece of the story and a decision to make. Each option you may choose has a corresponding page to continue the story. In this way, you can decide how you want the hero of the story to act.

I have never heard of these books but it sounds like a wonderful concept. Do you think they are an appropriate reading level for a 10 year old child? My daughter loves to read and would think these were great.

Absolutely. I think that's about the age I was when I was so into them.

I read those a couple of times,even though I kept rereading till I got the ending I wanted or just to see how many ways the story could go.

I did the same. It was a way to read the same book many times and always get a different story!

I have and hadn't thought about them for years. I went online and did a search on ebay and there are some really good deals on some lots of books I am watching because I would love to get them and keep them for my kids.

I used to read them when I was younger. I probably still have one or two in the attic. They were fun 2 read because you could read them 3-4 times and never have the same ending.

Oh man, I loved those books when I was younger! I had a whole collection of them. Sometimes I'd cheat and read ahead to try and get the best ending! I can still remember some of them... I had one with a unicorn and a ring and a sword, I think. Those were three things that played a major part in the book. And one with this mad scientist in an underwater lab that had something to do with morray eels. Wow, I can't believe I remember all of that! I kind of want to see if I can dig those out now!
