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 the youngest scientist in Antarctica. As an expert research scuba diver, you have made discoveries in Antarctica’s ice-covered lakes and oceans that have changed the world’s understanding of how life can exist in the most extreme environments. After many months away, you are back at the research station. You're about to board a helicopter back to your remote research site when you receive word that one of your colleagues has gone missing. Do you delay your return to help the rescue team, or do you head back to the field to work on your experiment, which could be ruined if you don't return soon? Be careful, the choices YOU make might end in glory, disaster, or certain death.
Lily Simonson is an artist and writer who collaborates with scientists at the furthest reaches of the planet. As the National Science Foundation Antarctic Artists and Writers Program Awardee, Simonson spent several months camping and painting in Antarctica, scuba diving beneath the world’s largest expanse of sea ice. Through art-science residencies and invited collaborations, Simonson has participated in numerous oceanographic expeditions, creating art while aboard research vessels. Her work has been exhibited at galleries and institutions throughout the US and Europe and featured in a range of media outlets including Art21 Magazine, Interview Magazine, MTV, Atlas Obscura, Pacific Standard, the Los Angeles Times, and LA Weekly. Simonson holds a BA from UC Berkeley and an MFA from UCLA.
