For Scooby-Doo lovers everywhere!
Review:
In this choose your own adventure Scooby-Doo book the gang runs into a mysterious sea creature that is terrorizing people on the beach. Once the team arrives at the beach they each go in their own directions meeting up later. However, each member runs into the sea creature in some way and the result is an intriguing mystery children between the ages of 7-12 are going to enjoy.
Children get the opportunity to follow one path with a character and see where it takes them. It might lead to a dead end or one ending of the story. The great thing is that children will be following along directions and trying to figure out what is going on along with the character. Because there are different endings the reader can choose another character to follow and see what trouble they get into eventually consuming the entire book.
Choosing your own ending books are becoming popular because the reader decides the story. Certain paths may be the right choice, or not, but either way the reader is getting a good story that reveals more and more information about the plot.
This new series engages children into the story. Though the authors in this series differ, the writing style of the characters and the mystery solving stays in tact, though every author has their own voice.
For Scooby-Doo lovers everywhere its nice to have more chapter books to satisfy the needs of older children. Granted, there are not as many colorful illustrations that children look forward to, but that is expected in a chapter book. Many of the Scooby-Doo chapter books are not printed any more so finding one for older children is a struggle. This new series is fun and interactive in a way that will capture children's attention and will delight readers for years to come.
