Plot Summary: The beauty of the choose your won adventure series is that the plot changes every time based on the direction the reader chooses to take. In this edition, the story begins when the reader received a letter from their cousins asking for help locating the Jewels of Nabooti. The reader takes off and can head to Europe of Africa and the adventure goes ahead from there.
Critical Evaluation: This series is very light on character development and plot. The thrill of reading these books comes from being in control of the story, not from the quality of the writing. That being said, the book was fun to read and it is enjoyable seeing where ones decisions lead.
Reader's Annotation: Your cousins need you to assist them in tracking down the mysterious Lost Jewels of Nabooti. Will you go? What happens if you so? It is up to you to find out!
