    Choose from 9 possible endings in this interactive book from the bestselling Choose Your Own Adventure series, now for 5- to 8-year-old readers!

    Filled with colorful illustrations, these books for little kids make reading together extra fun. But be careful!!! The choices YOU make might end up with you stuck in your own sand castle.

    Just as you're falling asleep, you hear noises coming from the beach. Your sand castle has been enchanted! Do you brave the storm and see what strange things might be happening, or will you wait for the morning, when it's safe? If you explore the enchanted castle, will you find someone trapped inside? Or will you be shrunken down to the size of a mouse? You might explore a sunken ship and a haunted cove, meet some talking fish friends and foes, and be the hero of the story!
    R. A. MONTGOMERY attended Hopkins Grammar School, Williston-Northampton School and Williams College where he graduated in 1958. He pursued graduate studies in Religion and Economics at Yale and NYU. Montgomery was an adventurer all his life, climbing mountains in the Himalaya, skiing throughout Europe and scuba-diving wherever he could. His interests included education, macro-economics, geo-politics, mythology, history, mystery novels and music. He wrote his first interactive book, Journey Under the Sea, in 1976 and published it under the series name The Adventures of You. A few years later Bantam Books bought this book and gave Montgomery a contract for five more, to inaugurate their new children's publishing division. Bantam renamed the series Choose Your Own Adventure and a publishing phenomenon was born. The series has sold more than 260 million copies in over 40 languages. He was married to the writer Shannon Gilligan. Montgomery died in November 2014, only two months after his last book was published.
