What Others are Saying

"Cute story. Great opportunity to introduce "Choose Your Own Adventure" books to an early reader (1st-2nd). My son is a great reader, but shies away from chapter books. This is a great starter toward chapter books."

"My grandkids, ages 8 and 6, love Choose Your Own Adventure books. The other night when they stayed at our house, they were in bed at 7:30 ready for me to come in and read with them. They take turns deciding which path to take. These books are a great way to open up discussions on decision making and consequences in a fun and exciting way."

"Both of my boys, aged 7 and 5, loved this book. They were so excited that they got to make a choice about the story. My husband and I laughed so much as they were covering their eyes when they had made a choice hoping it would be the right decision! Would definitely recommend these types of books."

What will your friends say if you bring him to school? If you follow Homer into the house, will you meet a ghost or ghoul? Do you trust the unicorn to fly you over the moon? You thought that dinosaurs were extinct, but that was before you visited the Dino Lab. Can your puppy (and best friend) Homer help you sniff out the dinosaurs? Did the dinosaurs head to the zoo? Or maybe they went to the movie theater? On a family vacation in Haiti, you discover a ghost, Yvette, in your room. You also meet a little girl named TiYoyo, who wants to show you her home. You explore the beautiful beaches and terrain of Haiti while uncovering family secrets.

I want to thank the person that gave a bad review because the book mention a bit of truth. I had to buy 6 birthday gifts and I included this book for all of them. I am very very happy about the presentation. It's a easy read, very entertaining, colorful and interesting. I assumed it was like my generation and be in black and white with small fonts. IT IS NOT. The kids will LOVE reading it over and over again to get a new ending. I love the diversity in this book. I look forward to buying more. I am just going to buy and share this title so everyone can enjoy together. GREAT job

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2019

Bought this for my 6 year old and she was a little scared by the stories. I thought it would be more fun and adventurous, but instead kids are being thrown into the air by ghosts, or getting banished into the afterlife. I think it would be fine for kids a little older.
