Secret Of The Ninja (Choose Your Own Adventure)

My son and I love reading these books while he is in bed before he goes to sleep. I read to him, and he gets to pick the next step of the journey. He gets so excited when finding new paths or opening new doors to additional storie lines. With a quick back story, you step write into the action and off on making the story yours. Sometimes our story ends within 5 minutes other times it could take 20 minutes or longer. All of these books are written in a way to quickly grab a child's (or adult's) attention and keep them there. With so many variations, it is like reading a new book every night. These are great gifts to give someone over a long weekend or over a vacation.

When I was a little girl we used to read these wide eyed until we reach the ending! Unsatisfied, I'd start all over again and do another story, and another story, until I've exhausted all possibilities. Sometimes, my sister would accuse me that I peek at the endings. Lol. That was 30 years ago. Now I bought it for my 6 year old son hoping he will catch the fervor I had for these books, I never wanted to put these books down!

I haven't read it myself, but I purchased it because my son enjoys Choose Your own Adventure books and ninjas. He said the book was okay, but basically ignores it after one read through. Normally he reads books over and over.

I was waxing nostalgic, one recent afternoon, when these books popped into mind. Ah, the halcyon days... I remembered being particularly fond of this one when I was a young tyke, and so I made a spontaneous purchase in a desperate bid to reclaim my lost childhood. The wait... twas maddening. I crack open the pages. That new book smell. I get screwed by a corpse in an urn 6 pages in. Infinite rage. The End.

I owned the first copy by the other artist, this one is illustrated by another artist still it captures the idea well enough. If you own this version it has more samurai qualities the original has hot inking. You may want both.

This is not quite as interesting as the Choose Your Own Adventure books that I grew up with. My son and I have tried to read it a few times together, but there are some challenging 'Ninja" type words, and not a very interesting story. After a few minutes, we both lose interest and put the book down. I would recommend saving your money and getting a different one in the series to try.

Just as good as I remember the Choose Your Own Adventure books, and now we know that our youngest grandson finds them - at least this one - just as thrilling. It didn't hurt that ninjas were involved; the boy loves ninjas!

Choose your ending wisely! Always Loved these books.

Great little book. Son of 9 approved.

Bought this for my nephew who never reads. He couldn't put this down. He is an 8 year old boy. Highly recommend it.

nice book for children with many possible endings

The kids in my class fight over these books. They're a great hit, especially with the boys who really enjoy reading them

Bought this for my son after remembering the fun I'd had with these books. The story setup was a bit convoluted before you got a chance to choose, and there were lots of different endings which seemed successful so it was only when reading others that you realised that you hadn't necessarily picked the right one! The books I remembered, bad choices usually resulted in death so you knew you had to go back and choose again! The fact a choice lead to you 'living happily ever after' in this book meant you weren't sure if you chose the right path or missed out on a more satisfying ending elsewhere. An ok version of this type of book but believe there are better ones out there.
