The Wild West

Children's Literature - Carrie Hane Hung

Select your own adventure and experience in the Wild West. Will you choose to take the path of a lawman or an outlaw? Or will you take your chances in finding a fortune in the Dakota Territory? The first chapter sets the time period, and then you make your first selection: the life of an outlaw, lawman, or fortune seeker. You are directed to the page to continue your adventure and you will face additional choices along the way. In the end, will you find your fortune? Or will your character be lucky to escape death? The stories are based on what happened to people during the late 1800s. A few people found their fortune, a few came out alive, and a few met death. These adventures include a variety of endings that people faced during the time period. The story weaves among the famous and the infamous. There are captioned snapshots, including photographs of Calamity Jane, Judge Parker, Bass Reeves, and others. There are twenty endings to reach by reading different adventures and making choices. This book is from the "You Choose Books" series that features other interactive history adventures. Reviewer: Carrie Hane Hung
