One tiny turn of a page… one giant leap for readers aged 7 and above! This is an information book with a difference – a narrative non-fiction adventure where the reader gets to decide what happens next! Explore the stories, look at the facts, and then choose from a range of options. If YOU were there, with a problem to solve, what would YOU do?
