Choose Your Own Adventure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Choose Your Own Adventure is a series of children's books first published by Bantam Books from 1979 to 1998 and currently published by Chooseco. Each story is written from a second person point-of-view, with the reader assuming the role of the main character. The books have sold 250 million copies, making it one of the most successful book series of all time.
[edit] Format
After an introduction to the story, the reader was given choices of how the story should progress. For instance:
- If you decide to start back home, turn to page 4.
- If you decide to wait, turn to page 5.
Depending on the reader's choice, the plot would unfold in different ways and eventually lead to many different possible endings.
The types of multiple endings that the Choose Your Own Adventure books featured include:
- At least two - but usually several - endings depicting the most desired resolution (e.g. the villain's plans are foiled and he/she is subsequently either arrested or killed) and the main character, friend, or other "good guy" character is rewarded handsomely.
- Endings that result in death, either of the main character, one or more "friends," or both, because of an incorrect choice the reader made. Usually, this plot twist involves the villain learning of the good guys' investigation, subsequent confrontation and deadly resolution.
- Other endings that may either be satisfactory (but not the most desired ending) or unsatisfactory (but not always totally bad).
- At least one of the books has an ending where the reader becomes the villain.
- Often one particular set of choices will throw the reader into a loop where they repeatedly reach the same page (often with a reference to the situation being familiar). At this point the reader's only option is to restart the adventure.
- One book - UFO 54-40 - revolved around the search for a paradise that no one can actively reach; one of the pages in the book describes the player finding the paradise and living happily ever after, although none of the choices in the book led to that page. The ending could only be found by disregarding the rules and going through the book at random. Upon finding the ending, the reader is congratulated for realizing how to find paradise.
The number of endings in later books shrank for unknown reasons.
[edit] History
In 1969, in the course of making up bedtime stories for his children, Edward Packard wrote Sugarcane Island, the book that became the prototype for the classic Choose Your Own Adventure series. The William Morris Agency submitted the book on Packard's behalf to several major publishers, all of whom rejected it. In 1976 Packard approached Vermont Crossroads Press, known for its highly creative and innovative children's books, about publishing the title. R. A. Montgomery, co-founder of VCP, had designed several “you”-based role playing games for the Peace Corps, McGraw-Hill and the Edison Electric Institute in the early 1970’s and immediately saw the potential in the book’s format. He proposed making it into a series, and calling it “The Adventures of You.” Upon publication of Sugarcane Island, Publisher's Weekly called it "an original idea, well carried out."
Subsequently, Edward Packard left Vermont Crossroads Press and published two interactive books with Lippincott in New York, in 1977 and 1978, but they were not a success. R.A. Montgomery continued the original “Adventures of You” at Vermont Crossroads, writing and publishing Journey Under the Sea in 1977. Upon selling his interest in the press in 1978, Montgomery brought the series to Bantam Books who was interested in starting a children’s book division. Montgomery signed a contract with Bantam for six books in 1978, and invited Ed Packard and another VCP writer, Doug Terman, to collaborate by contributing books to the series. Terman wrote By Balloon to the Sahara, Book #3 in the original series, before turning full-time to a highly successful career writing adult geo-political thrillers.
R. A. Montgomery and Edward Packard went on to write 60 books apiece in the original Choose Your Own Adventure series and a spin-off series for younger readers. In addition, thirty other authors wrote titles for the two series. Choose Your Own Adventure was not the first "interactive" book or series. The interactive format was pioneered by the distinguished French writer Raymond Queneau in 1959 with the publication of his “Story As You Like It”. The format was subsequently also used by Julio Cortazar in his 1964 work, Rayuela or Hopscotch. Finally, there was a successful interactive “you”-based children’s series published by Corgi in England in the early 1970s called Trackers.
After its initial commercial success, Choose was widely copied in the 1980s with such series as Which Way (which reprinted Sugarcane Island), Zork, and Time Machine. In the 2000s, R. A. Montgomery, through his company Chooseco, republished many of the original Choose Your Own Adventure titles. Chooseco also plans to add new titles. Sundance Publications released eighteen titles in 2005 for the education market and plans another eighteen titles in 2006, along with teacher guides and student workbooks. From June 2006, Scholastic Australia is releasing localized editions monthly, with new covers by Marc McBride.
In July 2006, Lean Forward Media, under license from Chooseco, produced the first Choose Your Own Adventure DVD TV game, The Abominable Snowman. It uses interactive technology not available when the books were originally published. Lean Forward Media also plans to produce DVD versions of other titles in the series, including The Lost Jewels of Nafouti, The Case of the Silk King, and Mystery of the Maya.
[edit] Possible Derivation
François Le Lionnais presented a schematic for a multiple-choice narrative ("tree" literature) at the 79th meeting of the Ouvroir de littérature potentielle in May 1967. At the 83rd meeting in September 1967, Raymond Queneau presented Tale of Your Choice (The Appealing Tale of Three Lively Peas), based on Le Lionnais' concept.
[edit] Impact
The Choose Your Own Adventure series was one of the most popular children’s series of all time, with over 250 million books in print in at least 38 languages. The series has been noted in old and recent press for its unusual defiance of gendered writing for children (due to its second-person narration) and for its appeal with reluctant readers. The series has been used in classrooms from elementary school to college. At the advent of the Internet age, the series was used frequently in curricula focused on explaining the interactivity of the WWW to young children.
The wide recognition the format enjoys has enabled its reuse by other writers for stylistic effect; for example, in Kim Newman's novel 'Life's Lottery' (2000), and the short stories 'Civilisation', by Vylar Kaftan (2007), and 'Choose Your Own Epic Adventure', by Marcus Ewert (2006). Carlton Mellick III authored a parody book entitled 'Ocean of Lard.' Writer / director David N. Donihue created a film in the same format, the first feature length live action choose your own adventure style movie entitled The Weathered Underground (2007). The four and a half hour long interactive break-up film, has thirty different endings, and like the books, offers a new choice every minute or two.
