Can You Survive the Wonderful Wizard of Oz?: A Choose Your Path Book (Interactive Classic Literature)

A powerful cyclone has swept you into the magical Land of Oz. To find your way home, you must follow the yellow brick road—but witches, monsters, and other dangers stand in your way.

In Can You Survive the Wonderful Wizard of Oz?, readers become Dorothy and make choices that shape the journey through L. Frank Baum’s classic fantasy adventure.

Stranded in a strange and fantastical world, you must journey to the Emerald City in search of a way home. Alongside the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion, you’ll encounter a wicked witch, angry trees, fierce tiger-bears, and terrifying winged monkeys. Can you trust your unusual friends? Will your courage and clever thinking get you out of danger? And when the road of yellow bricks takes an unexpected turn, which path will you choose? Make decisions that shape the story and determine your fate.
