Lost on the Amazon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lost on the Amazon is a book written by R.A. Montgomery.
Originally written by R.A. Montgomery as the 24th book in the Choose Your Own Adventure Series, it was initially published in 1983 by Bantam Books. It joined The Abominable Snowman, Journey Under the Sea and a number of Montgomery’s Choose Your Own Adventures in the 2005 re-release of the series under its new publisher Chooseco LLC, which is owned in part by Montgomery himself. Upon the republished it was renumbered as book 9th in the “New” Series.
Entering the Amazon as a young doctor sent to study local diseases, the reader is plunged into adventure as the team sent a few days ahead vanishes without a trace. As the mystery unfolds, the reader faces danger from many sides, and hard choices at every turn. To leave the path, to trust the witch doctor, to stay with the plane, these choices and more will bring the reader to their fate, one way or the other.
As is the custom for Choose Your Own Adventure, the story is told from the “You” perspective, placing the reader as the protagonist and giving them a new choice virtually every page until they reach an end, at which point they have either succeeded or met some potentially terrible fate.
The story has also been modernized to reflect the changes in technology.
