“My 5th grade son LOVED this book. It gives readers a choice within reading. As he made incorrect choices, he wasn’t disappointed. Rather, he was very excited to continue figuring out what the right one would be from what he learned. This book has many ingredients to help get kids excited about reading and I recommend it highly.”

“This book addresses such important issues in such an engaging way. Tomorrow my grandson turns 5 years old and I just can’t wait to put him on my lap and read this together! The characters are so silly but the behaviors are spot-on and the illustrations are delightful! I can’t wait to see both of my grandsons expressions when they see their faces! Thank you active literature!”

Jeff Nathan’s “interactive, personalized, choose-your-own-path mystery” series offers a powerful invitation to engage reluctant and struggling readers in the act of reading. I’d recommend this to any elementary teacher of reading.”
