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.

YOU are hiking in Snake Canyon when you find yourself lost in the strange, dimly lit Cave of Time. And depending on which of the curving paths you take, you’ll emerge into a different thrilling moment in history. Will you be adopted into a band of early humans and hunt down a woolly mammoth? Will you be captured by medieval knights and put on trial before a king? Or will you find yourself a passenger on board the Titanic moments before it hits an iceberg? With every twist and turn you choose, an entirely new adventure awaits you in the past … or maybe even the future!

A generation of readers was enraptured by this instant classic title, and for many it’s their first and strongest memory of Choose Your Own Adventure. Long-time fans will eagerly dive into revisiting this gem from the early days of the series, and kid readers will love discovering the Cave of Time as they navigate a maze of choices to discover every path and find the wildest endings.
Ed Packard was born in 1931 in Huntington, New York, and worked as a lawyer before becoming a full-time writer. He wrote the first book in Bantam's classic Choose Your Own Adventure series, The Cave of Time, and wrote many other titles in the series. His book Imagining the Universe (1994), received a Scientific American book award. His recent writings are available at edwardpackard.com.
