LOST ON THE AMAZON

The original interactive children's gamebook series Choose Your Own Adventure has been updated for Kindle. While you can't keep your finger in the pages of your Kindle reader, the classic choice-driven stories starring YOU come to digital life with an interactive map that lets you know where you are in the book, and also gives you the option to go back and try a different path.

The Amazon river basin is home to the greatest biodiversity on planet earth. Will it yield up its potential cures? Or sink you in its depths?

Strange tropical diseases can wipe out whole communities in days. And in this age of modern travel, they can morph into worldwide epidemics in mere weeks. You are a young doctor specializing in such threats. Now you face a journey into the heart of the Amazon jungle where your medical team has mysteriously disappeared in the search for a cure.

The Amazon does not yield its treasures easily. You must open your heart and your mind. The rewards are great and the dangers are even greater. Good luck! Choose well.

"I have to say, it is great. The transition to the digital medium works very well. Though I hadn’t read one of these books since I was a kid, the experience hadn’t deteriorated over time, and the new interactive features made turning pages much faster. Also, I didn’t accidentally see some of the other storylines." - Wired

"Print may be dying, but that doesn’t mean that its single greatest contribution can’t make the leap to digital with these Choose Your Own Adventure books on iBooks. True to their 1980s roots, these stories are still presented as books with links to other pages at critical decision points. However, there have been a few upgrades — such as a map to help guide your way." - Geekosystem.com
