About the Author

Blake Hoena grew up writing stories about robots conquering the moon and trolls lumbering around in the woods behind his parents’ house—the fact that the trolls were hunting for little boys had nothing to do with Blake’s pesky brothers. He pursued a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and since graduating, Blake has written more than sixty books for children. Blake has published ABC picture books, graphic novels about space aliens, and retellings of classic stories such as Greek Mythology’s Adventure of Perseus, a choose your path book.

Editorial Reviews

Getting children away from their video games has proven to be a difficult task for a lot of parents. If they pulled the plug on the games and asked their child to pick up a book instead, it might bring about Armageddon—or the most wonderful adventure a kid could have at home. Such is the case as they follow the words to a place that has pirates and treasure. Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island is not only a fun, action-packed adventure; it is a treasure hunt for the story itself. Readers are challenged to make choices that will determine whether the story could end before it really gets started. Chapter one of this tale can be found on page 64. “Your name is Jim Hawking and you help your mother run the Admiral Benbow inn. A strange sea fellow carrying a chest with him rents a room. After months of keeping to himself he asks you, for a few coin of course, to keep an eye out for a peg legged man. There might be a lot as stake. So, if you decide to help, go to page 47. If not, page 26.” The reader decides which direction the adventure will go. Author Blake Hoena has adapted one of his favorite childhood stories into a “Choose Your Path” book. The already exciting stories adapted for this series offer a fun way for readers to enjoy them all over again, or for the first time. Readers are encouraged to make a decision as to which way they want to read the story and follow the adventure. Parents and teachers will love this storytelling method and can use it as a tool to get those kids who would not normally pick up a book to have fun reading and enjoying the adventure.
