Customer Reviews

old favorite still great

I bought this and 'Chimney Rock'for my 9 year old son who is now enjoying the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' series. They're my old favorite;Edward Packard's were the best.

Outstanding

The first and one of the best in the series. The Cave of Time provides a keen sense of being in different worlds. The different passages from which to choose from succeed in keeping the reader in suspense. It's a shame that books like this that strike the imagination in young and old readers alike hardly get written anymore.

This book takes some time to read-good time!

I've read this book many times and think it's one of the best Choose Your Own Adventure Books ever written.

An Imaginative Journey

This book takes the reader on an imaginative armchair journey through time. The first and the best in Edward Packard's clever adventure series, it is fun to read again and again!

Superb Book!
