In a new series of choose-your-own-adventure-style books, Matt Forbeck writes the Endless Quest series that take middle school readers through actual Dungeons & Dragons content in an adventure filled quest. Into the Jungle follows a dwarven cleric charged with finding a legendary adventurer, Artus Cimber, and the Ring of Winter he carries. The reader, as the cleric, must find their way through a jungle, racing against frost giants and zombies to find their quarry before the jungle gets them… There are many twists and turns that lead to success or failure. This series of books is particularly good for kids who are already hooked on D&D, kids who love this style of book, or both. It may be an excellent way to introduce readers to Dungeons & Dragons if they haven’t heard of it before, or to get those who are into D&D reading more books. Purchase wherever either is popular.

I always loved these books as a kid and it's no different now as an adult! You can read this over and get different results! It's like a few stories in one! Can't wait to read the second book! Thank you netgalley for the free arc in exchange for an honest review!

It has been ages since I've read a Choose Your Own Adventure type story, and I have to say that these D&D ones are great fun and made me feel like a kid again. I would absolutely recommend all of them to Dungeons and Dragons fans but also to those who want to experience the nostalgia of the CYOA books you loved as a child.

Yay! I won! It took me a few tries but I accomplished my mission.

This one seemed like it had less to it than the Endless Quest Rogue book. But I liked that it put you in the guise of a dwarven cleric. That’s a little more off the beaten path than a halfling rogue.

Maybe I don’t remember the old Endless Quest books as well as I think, but these don’t seem to have as much of a story - or maybe for a younger group. Though - just like in many Choose Your Own Adventure Books - most of the failed endings find you dying.

In this choose-your-own-adventure style Dungeons and Dragons story, you're a dwarf cleric who was just traveling by sea (haha, seasick dwarf!) Suddenly, dinosaurs! The endings include debt, death, AN ACTUAL GOOD ENDING!, death, more death, death, death, dying and being turned into a zombie... There are certainly a lot more bad endings than good ones. This would be great for that 11-13 year old age range where they're just getting into dark things and some light gore. This series actually reminds me kind of the Goosebumps book series - it's about that level of horror/gore and that same reading level. So if you're a fan of Goosebumps and want to take a choose-your-own-adventure D&D style spin with that type of book, this is the series for you.

I received a copy of this for a fair and honest review. I have never played D & D before but I do love choose your own adventure books and that is what this is. You get to be the hero of the story. You are hired to find and bring back a missing person. You must travel into the jungle and search putting your own life at risk. There is no promises that you will return. I tried this and I did not succeed. I died  an epic death or two, but I had a lot of fun doing it. Grab a copy and try it for yourself.

This was an adorable story. I LOVE pick your own path books! I did however find some of the names difficult to prnounce when reading them to the kids. It was also a bit difficult turning to this page or that when it says to on the kindle. But my kids 7&10 loved them and enjoyed making the choices and seeing what happens
