    Sheldon Frank

  • “Was looking for books that would help my 6 year old son be more interested in reading. This was a book that kept his attention because of the way he could choose different paths to the story ending. Great for a 1st grader.”

    Samson B

  • “What’s fun about these books is that the reader actually becomes the story’s central character, so you get to make decisions and create an adventure. You end up reading one story in many different ways.”
