[Luke · Rating 5 out of 5]

AWESOME book! This book tells the story of three teams of kids, Team A, Team B, and Team C, who compete in The Great Coaster Contest, which is a contest held in an amusement park. The winners get to travel to all the great amusement parks of the world! The losers? Squat. Nada. Nothing. Zip. You get the idea.

This is a pick your path book, but a surprisingly good one. This series was laid out extremely well. I felt that I got a good story no matter what. It was not really short (unless you made wrong turns, which you could easily correct) and usually had a satisfying outcome. A good book overall.
