    Choose from 9 possible endings in this interactive book from the bestselling Choose Your Own Adventure series, now for 5- to 8-year-old readers!

    Filled with colorful illustrations, these books for little kids make reading together extra fun. But be careful!!! The choices YOU make might put you face to face with a goddess who lives in the lake.

    When YOU discover an old, mysterious box, you and your sister start your search for Champ, the legendary lake monster who lives in Lake Champlain. Is the box a clue to finding Champ? Or a trick to throw you off the case? You might be the very first explorer to snap photos of the mythical beast, maneuver choppy waters on board a wobbly canoe, and brave a haunted house!
    Shannon Gilligan wrote her first Choose Your Own Adventure book, The Search for Champ, in 1983. She has written over fifteen books for children, including eleven in the Choose Your Own Adventure series. Her work has been translated into twenty languages and there are over 10 million copies of her books in print. In 1990, she was in the last generation of developers who were drafted into the legendary Evangelism program at Apple Computer that reached out to non-computer people to design and develop software. Gilligan spent a decade in the '90s working on story-based computer games and her creativity tool—Comic Creator—from Hearst New Media won Best Software from People Magazine in 1995. Her contributions to video game design are featured throughout the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, New York. Gilligan’s current day job is publisher at Chooseco LLC, a purpose-built company for the relaunch of the famous children’s gamebook series. She lives in Warren, Vermont, still writes when she can, and travels widely.
