Format

After an introduction to the story, the reader was given choices of how the story should progress. For instance:

If you decide to start back home, turn to page 4.

If you decide to wait, turn to page 5.

Depending on the reader's choice, the plot would unfold in different ways and eventually lead to many different possible endings.

The types of multiple endings that the Choose Your Own Adventure books featured include: Multiple endings refer to a case in entertainment (usually video games) where the story could end in different ways, depending on the actions of the characters. ...

• At least two - but usually several - endings depicting the most desired resolution (e.g. the villain's plans are foiled and he/she is subsequently either arrested or killed) and the main character, friend, or other "good guy" character is rewarded handsomely.
• Endings that result in death, either of the main character, one or more "friends," or both, because of an incorrect choice the reader made. Usually, this plot twist involves the villain learning of the good guys' investigation, subsequent confrontation and deadly resolution.
• Other endings that may either be satisfactory (but not the most desired ending) or unsatisfactory (but not always totally bad).
• At least one of the books has an ending where the reader becomes the villain.
• Often one particular set of choices will throw the reader into a loop where they repeatedly reach the same page (often with a reference to the situation being familiar). At this point the reader's only option is to restart the adventure.
• One book - UFO 54-40 - revolved around the search for a paradise that no one can actively reach; one of the pages in the book describes the player finding the paradise and living happily ever after, although none of the choices in the book led to that page. The ending could only be found by disregarding the rules and going through the book at random. Upon finding the ending, the reader is congratulated for realizing how to find paradise.

The number of endings in later books shrank for unknown reasons. A Plot twist is a change (twist) in the direction or expected outcome of the plot of a film or novel. ... Happily Ever After can refer to: Happily Ever After, a compilation double-LP comprising The Cure albums Seventeen Seconds and Faith; it was a U.S.-only issue by A&M Records. ...

History

Packard's Sugarcane Island.

Choose Your Own Adventure The Abominable Snowman DVD

In 1969, in the course of making up bedtime stories for his children, Edward Packard wrote Sugarcane Island, the book that became the prototype for the classic Choose Your Own Adventure series. The William Morris Agency submitted the book on Packard's behalf to several major publishers, all of whom rejected it. In 1976 Packard approached Vermont Crossroads Press, known for its highly creative and innovative children's books, about publishing the title. R. A. Montgomery, co-founder of VCP, had designed several “you”-based role playing games for the Peace Corps, McGraw-Hill and the Edison Electric Institute in the early 1970s and immediately saw the potential in the book’s format. He proposed making it into a series, and calling it “The Adventures of You.” Upon publication of Sugarcane Island, Publisher's Weekly called it "an original idea, well carried out."

Subsequently, Edward Packard left Vermont Crossroads Press and published two interactive books with Lippincott in New York, in 1977 and 1978, but they were not a success. R.A. Montgomery continued the original “Adventures of You” at Vermont Crossroads, writing and publishing Journey Under the Sea in 1977. Upon selling his interest in the press in 1978, Montgomery brought the series to Bantam Books who was interested in starting a children’s book division. Montgomery signed a contract with Bantam for six books in 1978, and invited Ed Packard and another VCP writer, Doug Terman, to collaborate by contributing books to the series. Terman wrote By Balloon to the Sahara, Book #3 in the original series, before turning full-time to a highly successful career writing adult geo-political thrillers. NY redirects here. ...

R. A. Montgomery and Edward Packard went on to write 60 books apiece in the original Choose Your Own Adventure series and a spin-off series for younger readers. In addition, thirty other authors wrote titles for the two series. Choose Your Own Adventure was not the first "interactive" book or series. The interactive format was pioneered by the distinguished French writer Raymond Queneau in 1959 with the publication of his “Story As You Like It”. The format was subsequently also used by Julio Cortazar in his 1964 work, Rayuela or Hopscotch. Finally, there was a successful interactive “you”-based children’s series published by Corgi in England in the early 1970s called Trackers.

After its initial commercial success, Choose was widely copied in the 1980s with such series as Which Way (which reprinted Sugarcane Island), Zork, and Time Machine. In the 2000s, R. A. Montgomery, through his company Chooseco, republished many of the original Choose Your Own Adventure titles. Chooseco also plans to add new titles. Sundance Publications released eighteen titles in 2005 for the education market and plans another eighteen titles in 2006, along with teacher guides and student workbooks.

Possible Derivation

François Le Lionnais presented a schematic for a multiple-choice narrative ("tree" literature) at the 79th meeting of the Ouvroir de littérature potentielle in May 1967. At the 83rd meeting in September 1967, Raymond Queneau presented Tale of Your Choice (The Appealing Tale of Three Lively Peas), based on Le Lionnais' concept. François Le Lionnais (October 3, 1901 – March 13, 1984) was a French chemical engineer and mathematician, perhaps best known as a founder of the literary movement Oulipo. ... Oulipo stands for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, which translates roughly as workshop of potential literature. It is a loose gathering of French-speaking writers and mathematicians, and seeks to create works using constrained writing techniques. ...

Impact

The Choose Your Own Adventure series was one of the most popular children’s series of all time, with over 250 million books in print in at least 38 languages. The series has been noted in old and recent press for its unusual defiance of gendered writing for children (due to its second-person narration) and for its appeal with reluctant readers. For those of you who don't understand...this means that the character isn't clearly a girl or a boy. (i.e. - You're never dating Bobby, only friends with Bobby, so boys and girls can both relate.) The series has been used in classrooms from elementary school to college. At the advent of the Internet age, the series was used frequently in curricula focused on explaining the interactivity of the WWW to young children.

The wide recognition the format enjoys has enabled its reuse by other writers for stylistic effect; for example, in Kim Newman's novel 'Life's Lottery' (2000), and the short stories 'Civilisation', by Vylar Kaftan (2007), and 'Choose Your Own Epic Adventure', by Marcus Ewert (2006). Carlton Mellick III authored a parody book entitled 'Ocean of Lard.' Kim Newman (born July 31, 1959) is an English journalist, film critic, and fiction writer. ... Vylar Kaftan [1] is a science fiction and fantasy writer and Clarion West Workshop graduate who lives on the West Coast. ...
