The Blurb On The Back:
Danger awaits you in the mountain wilderness!
You and your pilot Jake have crashed in the Canadian Rockies. Jake is hurt, so it’s up to you to hike through the snow for help. You walk for hours until you come to a cabin. Inside you see a terrifying scene - a boy is tied to a chair, guarded by a sleeping man with a shotgun and a hunting knife!
What should you do? If you decide to play it safe and look for help, turn to page 83. If you try to sneak in and grab the gun and knife, turn to page 89. Be careful. Your next move could make you rich - or trap you forever in the dangerous mountains!
What happens next in the story? It all depends on the choices you make. How does the story end? Only you can find out! And the best part is that you can keep reading and rereading until you’ve had not one but many incredibly daring adventures!
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Edward Packard’s adventure game book (illustrated by Leslie Morrill and part of a series) for children aged 9+ is a fast-paced, genuinely exciting read with some useful survival tips. The reader chooses between different options to direct where the story goes - some to a sticky end, some to fame and riches - which holds the attention and keeps things interesting. The series was a big part of my childhood and still hold up all these years later.
