Japanese Mystery

I am a big fan of the Choose Your Own Adventure series, so I was thrilled when I found out they were being released again. The whole series is great, especially for kids who find reading to be boring. The Mystery of Ura Senke is one of my favorites! This one was written by Shannon Gilligan, wife of R.A. Montgomery who writes most of the books. Shannon definitely brings a different feel to the books. The setting for this book is different from the typical Choose Your Own Adventure novel. You are on a Japanese vacation when a valuable tea ceremony bowl is stolen! You must find out who has taken it before it is sold on the black market and lost forever. This book incorporates a lot of Japanese culture as well as a fun adventure. Kids will be fascinated by the thrill of the hunt for a stolen object in a foreign country
