Review:

Life as a Ninja: An Interactive History Adventure and Life as a Knight: An Interactive History Adventure (You Choose Warriors series, CAP, page 126) Though they re reminiscent of Edward Packard s Choose Your Own Adventure series (Bantam), these books take the concept to a new level. Readers not only take an active role by choosing the outcome of a quest, but also learn some history. . . . a well-rounded presentation. Colorful reproductions, computer-generated illustrations, and some photographs of weapons help to transport children to these times and places. Reluctant readers will be especially drawn to these books, though other children will find them engaging as well. --School Library Journal
