Choose Your Own Adventure books–the 4th bestselling children’s series of all time–are back and as much fun as you remember. Kids and adults agree, these are the books that get 9- to 12-year-olds reading.

Just two weeks before your family's summer trip to Paris, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is stolen from the Musée du Louvre. When the Sûreté (France's FBI) learns that YOU solved the theft of another important painting in Washington, D.C., they ask you to fly over early to help them work on the investigation. You land in Paris and face an immediate choice. Your good friend Pierre tells you that he thinks he has a lead on the robbers’ whereabouts. But the officials of the Sûreté are waiting…. Will you make the right choices and find the Mona Lisa before it disappears forever? Will you bust arms dealers or end up letting the famous painting slip through your fingers? Be careful, the choices YOU make might end in glory, disaster, or certain death.
Ramsey Montgomery was an explorer of the world. He loved to meet new people and cultures. Although he passed away at age 40, he managed to see much of the world in that time. In his adventurous life, he lived in Vermont (where he was born and grew up), Colorado, England, New Mexico, California, Thailand, and Vietnam. He visited so many places that the list would be too long to include. Ramsey loved to ski, hike, and bike, but his true love was reading. He read widely and deeply. Ramsey will always be missed by his family and his many, many friends from around the world.
