    Finally back in print! Search for Ultima in this iconic interactive book where YOU decide what happens next. Packed with 30 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 8- to 12-year-olds reading.

    You are on a flight from New York to London when an alien space ship abducts you from your plane. Aboard UFO 54-40, you meet the UT-Y, an alien race searching the galaxy for the utopian planet of Ultima. Among the other abducted members on UFO 54-40 are humans captured from different eras and aliens from across the galaxies. Will you continue on the search to find the utopian Ultima? 

    A story of galactic exploration and daring adventure leads you to make choices about which planet you’ll call home and if you’ll ever return to the life you’ve always known. For kids with a love of swashbuckling space adventure, this is an imaginative and satisfying page-turner.
    EDWARD PACKARD was born in 1931 in Huntington, New York, and worked as a lawyer before becoming a full-time writer. He wrote the first book in Bantam's classic Choose Your Own Adventure series, The Cave of Time, and wrote many other titles in the series. His book Imagining the Universe (1994), received a Scientific American book award. His recent writings are available at edwardpackard.com.
