The Cave of Time (Choose Your Own Adventure)

Take Me Back in Time--The One that Started it All...
In 1979, Edward Packard, who is easily the best author of the entire gargantuan Choose-Your-Own-Adventure series, wrote and published this book, and with that one stroke he not only gave us all a classic adventure story but founded an entire new genre of fiction as well! The whole idea of the "interactive novel" did not even exist before the first Choose-Your-Own-Adventure, as far as I know. ...

Pure Gold
This book, along with The Cave of Time, made everybody my age in the early eigties want to choose their own adventure, either in this series or any of the other clones that it brought about. What UFO 54-40 teaches us is the blatant futility of aspiring for a perfect or utopian society unless we as a people learn to collectively cheat and read ahead in the book.

Rules are made to be broken
I was in third grade when I stumbled upon my teacher's (Mrs. Smith) copy of this book in our classroom. It was the first time I had ever seen a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book. I was enthralled from the get go. As a young child, the ability to choose your path through the story made reading more immediately interactive (as video games purport to be today) and allowed someone (me) with a very ...

The Forbidden Castle (Choose Your Own Adventure, 14)
Edward Packard

Bantam Books, 1982

Can you solve the riddle of the forbidden castle? The cave of time whirls you back to medieval England. You must solve the riddle that leads to the Forbidden Castle, where riches await-- and maybe a way home. But the kings wants the fortune for himself and his arm is right behind you!

Your own pet monster!
Ever wonder what it'd be like with your own pet monster? Well you can now with this book. It's written so well for children that they will want to keep reading if they are really into the book. You may be scared of the monster, or maybe you want to hide him from others so that it won't be an intrusion. Maybe you will get to fly on him like I did for my first ending as it shows on the cover of ...

Time is a important thing By James Bonura
This book was extremely good. I don't know how I got hooked on to choose your own adventure books, but I'm glad I did. I think it was my teacher who got me hooked on them. The author gives you a wide selection of choices, some deadly and some not. Each ending suprised me because they all had there own little way to finish the story!

Choose where you go!
I loved this book because you can choose your own path. You can't say to much about theese books because you might not have token the same path others have. But, you can tell someone it is interesting and full of suspense. You never know when the end will come for you. If you read it over and over while chosing different paths every time you won;t know what will happen next except in the ...

Old school terror
A childhood favorite, this entry in the famous series has not been re-released yet. One of the more memorable, hopefully it will see the light of day again for the kiddies. (Not sure what criteria they use for the reprinting of the older titles). Either way, glad to see that computers and video games have not totally killed the very simple pleasure these books held---sitting down, alone, ...

Empowering and fascinating journey for young readers.
As a sixth grade teacher, I rarely see my students as fired up to read a novel as they are about the Choose Your Own Adventure series, especially The Mystery of Chimney Rock. They beg me to read to them and often fight over what few copies I have. Kids love to feel like they are in charge of something important and exciting, especially at the middle school age. The Mystery of Chimney Rock is ...

Deadwood City
I think Deadwood City was great, because you can choose your own way to go. I got a job in the ghost town. I left beforeI got killed. I also got stopped by Indians on the way, I snuck away, stopped at a water hole to drink and fill my canteen. Only a few more more miles and I was in Silver Springs. I got a job from an old friend and that was the end of my story. There are plenty of more mays ...

My first Choose Your Own Adventure book!
For me, this was the book that got me addicted at the age of 9! Edward Packard is a genius and one of my American heroes for inventing such an amazing literary genre! Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey? is a great mystery, full of suspense and interesting character development. It also stands out from the early CYOA books because it only contains 14 endings, thus making for a longer story. This book ...

The Kota Beasts scared the Black Sun out of me
UGH. Were there any more frightening creatures to me as a kid than the Kota Beasts? Long fangs. Weird hair. Huge malicious predatory eyes. Ironically, 20+ years later, I have no problem with Alien, Predator, or Aku from "Samurai Jack." The Rakas, Archpods, Flying Clera/Angel Birds, and the whole Underground Kingdom nevertheless captivated me once the picture of the Kota Beasts (which ...
