Choose Your Own Adventure books–the 4th bestselling children’s series of all time–now include historical fiction, in which you’re an actual historic spy! Kids and adults agree, these are the books that get 9- to 12-year-olds reading.

You are Josephine Baker, a famous American entertainer living in Paris. It’s the second World War, and in an occupied France, you perform every night for adoring crowds. One day, an officer for the Allies approaches you, asking you to make the most critical decision of your life–are you willing to become a spy for the resistance and help defeat the Nazis? Will you be able to use your many talents to protect your friends and your beloved France, or will your daring adventures result in a bitter end?

Recommended by teachers and librarians for educational features including:
  • Curriculum friendly! Downloadable teachers’ guide.
  • Additional classroom materials available upon request.
  • Learn about Josephine Baker, the jazz icon and real life spy whose tales of adventure and daring live on in the popular imagination.
  • Delineate fact from fiction with back matter that teaches you the true story that inspired the book.
Deborah Lerme Goodman is the author of eight other Choose Your Own Adventure books, and two more in the original series. Ever since she and her brother received walkie-talkies, she’s been an amateur spy. She lives with her husband in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
