More About the Author
R.A. Montgomery is an avid adventurer, first and foremost. Whether in the mountains, or on the sea, or in explorations of the mind, he has found adventure in every aspect of his life. Teaching school, working in the administration of a top university, hiking in the Himalayas, or working in the Peace Corps in Africa, Montgomery has taken making choices seriously. Montgomery says, "There is never a day in which you are not confronted with choice. Some seemingly small choices can determine the path of the rest of your life. CYOA gave me a vehicle for examining all the impacts of choice."
He was born in Greenwich, Connecticut in 1936. One of his first memories is sitting in his high chair and being frightened of Jell-O, which he thought was alive. He attended Hopkins Grammar School, the oldest private school in the country (founded in 1660), and Williston Academy. He got his college degree from Williams in 1958, and did graduate school at Yale and NYU.
Choose Your Own Adventure® books reflect his diverse interests and values. Montgomery states, "More than anything else, everyone should have the freedom to express themselves. Second to that, everyone should take risks and be willing to fail. Picking yourself up off the mat is the central business of life."
Today R.A. Montgomery lives in north central Vermont, where he is CEO of the small publishing house that has re-introduced the CYOA series. He travels frequently to Asia and Europe. Although his technical climbing days are kaput.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good Choice for kids!,
By a reader (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lost on the Amazon/Prisoner of the Ant People/Trouble on Planet Earth/War with the Evil Power Master (Choose Your Own Adventure 9-12) (Box Set 3) (Paperback)
After this box set its only individual books. I'm not sure why there areno boxes for books 13+, but books 9-12 are here and ready to take their young readers as far as the furthest corners of the galaxy! What makes this collection so great is the choices it gives kids. Like the two previous, all the books have fun art and good writing, but it's the choices that sell this series. Set a stack in front of a kid and stand back! Just make sure you don't tell them they are really learning. Bad news though, like I said, its individual books from here on out.

This review is from: Lost on the Amazon/Prisoner of the Ant People/Trouble on Planet Earth/War with the Evil Power Master (Choose Your Own Adventure 9-12) (Box Set 3) (Paperback)
This was bought for my 8 year old grandson at the request of his father, who had read the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series as a boy. Nathan loves them and re-reads the whole story each time choosing a different ending. He thinks it's the neatest thing he's ever read!!!!
