Search for the priceless Jewels of Nabooti in this interactive book where YOU decide what happens next! Packed with 38 possible endings!

Choose Your Own Adventure books–the 4th bestselling children’s series of all time–are back and as much fun as you remember. Kids and adults agree, these are the books that get 9- to 12-year-olds reading.

The Jewels of Nabooti, two priceless diamonds and two dazzling rubies, have been stolen from a museum in Paris. These legendary treasures have been a source of helpful power for the African Nabooti tribe in Senegal. It's up to you to restore them to their rightful owners, but who can you trust? Do you get your cousins involved? How much truth is there to stories of a curse that falls upon all who search for the jewels? Will you be the next victim? Be careful, the choices YOU make might end in glory, disaster, or certain death.
R. A. MONTGOMERY attended Hopkins Grammar School, Williston-Northampton School and Williams College where he graduated in 1958. He pursued graduate studies in Religion and Economics at Yale and NYU. Montgomery was an adventurer all his life, climbing mountains in the Himalaya, skiing throughout Europe and scuba-diving wherever he could. His interests included education, macro-economics, geo-politics, mythology, history, mystery novels and music. He wrote his first interactive book, Journey Under the Sea, in 1976 and published it under the series name The Adventures of You. A few years later Bantam Books bought this book and gave Montgomery a contract for five more, to inaugurate their new children's publishing division. Bantam renamed the series Choose Your Own Adventure and a publishing phenomenon was born. The series has sold more than 260 million copies in over 40 languages. He was married to the writer Shannon Gilligan. Montgomery died in November 2014, only two months after his last book was published.
