Mystery of the Maya

A new Pushkin Children’s reboot features six pacy titles by one of the most prolific original authors in the series, the late RA Montgomery: romps such as The Abominable Snowman, which has 28 possible endings, and Journey Under the Sea. The hope is to lure children back into their imaginations * Guardian *

R.A. Montgomery was a bestselling author and avid adventurer. Whether teaching in a school, working in the administration of a top university, hiking in the Himalayas, or working in the Peace Corps in Africa, Montgomery took making choices seriously. Of his Choose Your Own Adventure series, Montgomery said ‘more than anything else, everyone should have the freedom to express themselves. Second to that, everyone should take risks and be willing to fail. Picking yourself up off the mat is is the central business of life.’
