Race Forever (Choose Your Own Adventure #7) [Paperback]

R. A. Montgomery (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 23, 2006

Beware and Warning!

This book is different from other books.

You and YOU ALONE are in charge of what happens in this story.

"There are dangers, choices, adventures, and consequences." YOU must use all of your numerous talents and much of your enormous intelligence. The wrong decision could end in disaster - even death. But, don't despair. At any time, YOU can go back and make another choice, alter the path of your story, and change its result.

Your dad was a famous racecar driver who taught you everything he knew - even when you were too small to reach the pedals! Now, you have been selected to race in one of the most grueling competitions in the world, the African Road Rallies. Life on the ranch in Arizona taught you a lot, but none of your previous races have demanded as much from you as this two-part race across the wildest parts of Africa will!

Editorial Reviews

Review

Though targeted at 7-12-year-olds, the Choose books should appeal to kids of all ages. But not just because adults are hoping to ride rocket ships down memory lane. The Web has taught us to appreciate nonlinear narratives, and Montgomery's series employs game theory to keep readers interested. --Wired MagazineThere are dangers

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.
