My Review
5 stars
You are Donovan Young and you are looking for the lost city of Atraharsis. It is up to you to figure out the clues and puzzles to try to find the lost city. But be careful what you choose, you may not end up where you were expecting.
This book takes me back to when I was a kid. I loved the Choose Your Own Adventure books. I would read these books over and over again always seeing where I would go. Treasure of the Forgotten City has 26 possible endings and I love the puzzles to get there. Plus I want to venture down all roads which doesn’t get me any closer to the end. You do have to pay attention to the clues and takes notes or you will end up starting the story again.
I loved this book and think mid-grade readers will love it to. I’m glad to see that someone is starting to bring back at Choose Your Own Adventures. I will definitely be on the lookout for other books in this series.
I received Treasure of the Forgotten City from Sage’s Blog Tours for free. This has in no way influenced my opinion of this book.
