Finally back in print after a 25-year wait! Unlock the mystery of Chimney Rock in this iconic interactive book where YOU decide what happens next! Packed with 36 possible endings!

Choose Your Own Adventure books—the 4th bestselling children's series of all time—are back and as much fun as you remember. Kids and adults agree, these are the books that get 9- to 12-year-olds reading.

YOU are on vacation in Connecticut when you notice a huge, empty stone house at the top of a hill. Your cousins call it Chimney Rock, and they tell you that no one who goes inside is ever seen again, but you're the curious type, and so you venture inside its crumbling walls. Will you break the curse on Chimney Rock and come back out again a hero? Or will you face any number of grisly ends at the hands of the malevolent forces within? Be careful, the choices YOU make might end in glory, disaster, or certain death!

A generation of readers was enraptured by the early classics of Choose Your Own Adventure, and while long-time fans will be thrilled to see its return to the shelves, new kid readers will love to explore one path after another, with every ending telling them a little more about the mystery of what happened at Chimney Rock and what can be done to break the curse.
