I only died like four times. VERY excited for the opportunity to become an alchemist AND a unicorn.

THIS. This is everything a choose your own book should be! I loved it. There were fantastical endings and not-so fantastical endings. If you made the wrong choice it could end death. The right one meant life for everyone! Even the magical creatures roaming the forest!
Honestly, I think I really connected with the story because I am a village girl and back in 2012 we had a drought. If there was anything I could have done I would have done it.
I think I played through all 27 endings. By far my favorite one is the one where she goes off, gets job skills, saves her village, and everyone lives a happy life of prosperity. Except the unicorn. You didn't know she existed. Heh!

Read for the “choose your own adventure” prompt for Popsugar 2019 challenge. Super cute and creative. For something written with 10 to 14 year olds in mind, some of the endings were pretty dark, but I suppose that was part of the appeal.

This is a choose-your-own-adventure. Everyone will have a different story.

Read on a weekend trip with a friend's family. I used to love Choose Your Own Adventure books when I was a kid and even got away with writing book reports about them in middle school! In this outing, I successfully turned myself into a unicorn, but it's not clear whether that actually saved my village, or if I'm happy about it. I did have to abandon all wishes to achieve this, so I guess this is a very neutral ending. ;-)
