Inhaltsangabe

Your grandpa left you a coin with a hole in it and a map no one has been able to read in three hundred years.

Now you're in a valley in Bolivia where a mule train of priests hid something the Spanish Crown never got back. Lucky growls. The path splits in two. You decide.

A gamebook for readers 9 to 12 where every choice has real consequences. Teo is twelve. His mom fixes airplanes, and when an airline somewhere in the world has a plane it can't fix, they send her — for months. So he knows what it's like to land where he doesn't know anyone. Like a lot of kids, he decides too late and decides out of fear. This book doesn't let him off the hook: what he chooses leads to one of twelve endings, and the best one doesn't go to the kid who guesses right. It goes to the kid who dares.

  • 12 endings — three good, one secret, two that hurt. No wrong answers. Consequences.
  • A real legend — the Jesuit treasure of Sacambaya (1748) and the Englishman who dug for it in 1905, documented at the back of the book.
  • 2 secret phrases — one in Aymara, one in old Spanish. Understand both and you'll know which ending María was waiting for.
  • Fully illustrated, 6×9, about 95 pages. Two afternoons for a fast reader; a week for one who likes to try every path.

For parents: there is no lecture in these pages. Every time Teo lets fear decide for him, the story remembers. Every time he decides anyway, with his voice shaking, it remembers that too. A two-page note at the end tells you what to ask when they finish.

CROSSROADS is a collection of stand-alone adventures: same kid, same dog, same coin, a different country and a different challenge every time. Read them in any order. Start with any one.
