Something sinister is unfolding at the bottom of the world in this interactive book where YOU decide what happens next! Packed with 20 possible endings!

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.

YOU are the child of two brilliant scientists and you've just spent your summer as a counselor at Camp Starkweather in Antarctica. Your time at the bottom of the world is coming to an end when you receive an emergency distress call from another camp nearby, where your parents have spent the summer doing top-secret research. Will you answer the call and go out into the frozen wasteland to face unknown dangers? Or will you stay at Camp Starkweather and hope that the ancient unknowable horrors won't come and find you next? 

Kids who love monsters and mystery will devour this thrilling adventure story of survival on the ice. With every choice, you’ll take charge of your fellow campers and bring everyone home safe and sound…or else doom them all to a terrible fate!
Jacopo della Quercia is an award-winning scholar and the author of three books, a play, more than a dozen academic essays, and over two hundred articles. He has spoken at Albany Medical College, New York University, the University at Albany, and various museums and libraries on topics ranging from Dante's Inferno to silent movies to Mark Twain's bizarre influence on video games. His essay "NecronomiCommedia: Dante, Doré, and the Root of Lovecraftian Horror" was featured in the 2023 book Weird Tales: 100 Years of Weird and has been credited for advancing existing scholarship on H.P. Lovecraft "by leaps and bounds." Jacopo lives in a little town called Little Falls in New York's Mohawk Valley with his wife, a fellow educator, to whom he owes everything.
