Choose your own adventure combined with a graphic novel. Yes please!!! How awesome is this book, so awesome that I need a print copy stat! What a wonderful idea and the execution is excellent. As the reader you get your clues both in the text and in the illustrations. Plus it is put on like a game where you have to feed your magical creature or else he is asleep and not there to give you needed magical powers. Did I mention you can pick the character you play as, so that increases the number of story lines.I am completely in love with this book. Thank you Quirk Books for bringing back my fav type childhood books!!!!!!

My only previous experience with "choose you own adventure" style comics is Jason Shiga's Meanwhile, which worked fantastically due to all the different arrows you could easily follow through the book. I truly loved Hocus & Pocus; The Legend of Grimm's Woods for different reasons. I completely messed it up the first time I went through as I missed the numbers in the panels, but once I got the hang of it, I decided that the small-scale "D&D" format with character stat sheet was absolutely perfect! I will definitely be purchasing this title for my library and will keep an eye out for more titles like this.

Hocus & Pocus: The Legend of Grimm’s Woods is a fun and engaging adventure story. You begin by selecting your character-Hocus or Pocus-and a magical creature. Both stories were great so feel free to pick either one. Begin at panel 1 and start your adventure! You have to help your character solve puzzles, get out of danger, and navigate the fairytale land. Each panel offers multiple story choices so the book can be read over and over with multiple outcomes. I read this on the iPad so there was lots of swiping through pages-I think I would prefer physical book, but overall it's a very fun reading experiences. I gave it to the 10 year old and he really enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
