Have you ever wished you could choose the next page?
Sometimes, halfway through a story, you find yourself thinking, “I would have gone the other way.” In a choose-your-path book, you can. The adventure begins in one place, but the decisions you make determine where you go next.
How does a choose-your-path book work?
You start at the beginning and read until the story offers you a choice. Perhaps there are two doors, a mysterious sound or a trail that disappears into the trees. Pick the option that interests you, then follow the instruction to the next page or section.
You may find yourself skipping forwards or backwards through the book. That is exactly how it is meant to work. You are following your own route rather than reading every page in order.
What if you choose the wrong path?
There is no need to worry about getting it wrong. An unexpected ending is part of the adventure, and you can always return to an earlier decision to see where another route leads.
It can be great fun to read with someone else, too. One of you might choose the winding staircase while the other would rather investigate the garden. Who knows what each of you will find?
Try a little choice of your own
Imagine reaching a quiet garden just as a bell rings behind a locked gate. Do you search for the bell, or follow a line of glowing footprints across the grass? Before you have even turned a page, your imagination is already busy.
