Reviews

WhatBookNext.com ~ This pick-a-path adventure story is perfect for children and teens who enjoy or who are about to go on a tramp. Not only is it an exciting read, there are paths that you definitely don’t want to pick, and paths that will save your life or the life of another on the tramp with you. The choices I made showed me much about what to do and definitely NOT do whilst preparing, and on a tramp. Even when in trouble, there are good and bad choices to make. In the rear of the book there are websites and apps to check out, and The Land Safety Code with detailed advice to make your tramp safe and fun.

NZ Booklovers ~ In this truly nail-biting adventure, Mark and James decide to go tramping in the Tararua Ranges. It’s a spontaneous decision as the weather is so good, but when the two friends set out, it doesn’t take long for things to become challenging. Bad weather starts rolling in, and Mark finds that James hasn’t packed the right gear. It will be up to Mark (with help from the reader) to make the right choices to keep James safe… Black-and-white images help bring the story to life, and it is a lot of fun picking which page to turn to each time as the story progresses. You can read through the book several times with different things happening, which is novel and left me in awe at how smart the author was to achieve this.
