New Release: The Grimms' Fairy Tales Adventure: A Choose Your Path Book (Can You Survive?)


(US/UK Links)

The Grimms' Fairy Tales Adventure: A Choose Your Path Book (Can You Survive?) by Ryan Jacobson is released this week in the US. It will be released next month on April 15th in the UK, see Can You Survive: Grimms' Fairy Tales: A Choose Your Path Book (UK Link).

I am a child of the 1980s which makes me look at "Choose Your Own Adventures" books with fondness. I always loved the concept but the books always rather bored me because they ended so quickly and didn't have much depth. But they are great for reluctant readers. And that long ago series was also my introduction to mortality in literature. Half of the results ended in death in those series--rather dark for the 1980s child! Curious to see how this book works.

Book description:

You're trapped in a land of dark fairy tales: Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and more. Every attempt at escape leads you into another story - and into more danger! Do you have what it takes to set the fairy tales right and to find your way home again? Or will the witch and her evil servants trap you in their stories forever? Step into this adventure, and choose your path. But choose wisely, or else...

  1. These sound great. I loved the Fighting Fantasy books and used to spend hours mapping them, and copying the illustrations too.
