More about this book

IT WAS A KNIGHT TO DISMEMBER... Your cousins, Kip and Abbey, have come to visit you from jolly old England — and guess what they brought with them? Two huge crates, each containing a suit of armor and a curse. But it doesn’t matter, 'cause you're "dying" to see what's inside. If you open the crate marked "Evil Knight," you will be hypnotized by the knight's sparkling medallion and will have to face an ugly sorceress. If you open the "Good Knight" crate, you'll discover a room full of mannequin heads that talk. Before you know it, you've lost your head. Can you pull yourself together before time runs out? The choice is yours in this scary GOOSEBUMPS adventure that's packed with over 20 super-spooky endings!

Reader choice and branching endings

The reader chooses what to do in a spooky adventure with more than twenty possible endings.Exploratory / explanatory

How the book presents it: The branching structure makes the reader's decisions the organising feature of the adventure.

Talk about: Which route would you choose, and what might you try differently on another reading?

Why It May Be Worth Reading

The branching format makes choices and consequences part of the fun: readers can follow a route, reach an ending and try different decisions to explore other possibilities.

What Deserves Attention

The spooky material includes a curse, hypnosis, a sorceress and talking mannequin heads. These supernatural threats may be worth considering if frightening imagery unsettles your child.

A Conversation Worth Having

Which choice would you make when faced with a frightening situation, and how might a different choice lead to another ending?

Reading Approach

Read together at first if helpful, pausing at each choice to talk through the options. Let your child choose a route, then revisit the book later to explore another ending.
