    Delve into the gnarly guts of a long-dead mall in this gloriously weird and whacked-out romp, where friendship, 80s music, and food court slushies are your weapons of choice against spandexed supernatural creeps.

    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.

    In the late 80s, a toxic spill rendered your local mall too hazardous to occupy—or at least, that’s what your parents told you. In reality, the spill was the work of Vaaldrant, a warlock from another dimension who’s been transforming mall employees into horrifying supernatural creatures ever since. You and your friends decide to film a video for your vlog channel, but when you meet up at the entrance, you find that your friend Drea is missing! Will you delve into the depths of the mall to rescue Drea from Vaaldrant? Or will his team of mutant mall workers get you first?

    With all the gooey gross-out chaos of a classic Nickelodeon game show and the high-stakes magical mayhem of a first-class Dungeons and Dragons game, this poltergeist-packed page-turner will keep readers coming back again and again until they’ve found every good – or gristly – end!!
    “Who doesn’t want to explore a hazardous, abandoned mall from the safety of their own couch? Dungeon Crawl at the Haunted Mall is packed with gleeful ghosts, gnarly creatures, and more slime than an episode of Double Dare. No matter which path you choose, you’ll have a totally radical adventure!” —Angela Sylvaine, Bram Stoker nominated author of Chopping Spree

    "Gammon’s Choose Your Own Adventure tale is steeped in 80’s nostalgia, with clear influences from B-Movie horror flicks and Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. Whether the cast of characters is wandering into an old-school arcade or performing synchronized aerobics in neon leotards, the book has an over-the-top campy feel with surprises around every corner." —Butler Children's Literature Center
