My Review: Plants vs. Zombies is based on the bestselling game Plants vs. Zombies where the homeowner uses many varieties of plants to repel an army of zombies from eating their brains. But with Plants VS. Zombies Plant Your Path junior novel, allows you to decide how to escape the zombies.
The best part is that the reader can choose their own path. If you choose the right path by picking the right plant you can move on to another path. But if you pick the wrong path, the zombie will be waiting to eat your brain. LOL!
The illustrations make the book fun to read.
FTC Disclosure: I received a review copy of this book from HarperCollins in exchange for a fair and honest review. I was not monetarily compensated for my opinion in any way.
The game Plants vs. Zombies itself is fun, but to have a choose your own adventure book about it is cool too! I like how in the book when presented with a new trial and the kids have to choose new seeds they are told what each will do, and you have to decide which is the best one. If you have the played the game itself, you would like this book, especially since you will probably know the best plants to use to defeat the zombies.
A so-so read, but I couldn't resist a choose your own adventure book based on Plants vs. Zombies. Of course, I went back and explored every possible ending (the cover proclaims that there are over 20 different endings).
Super cute and has the same sense of humor and adventure as the app but with an old-school twist of those "name-your-own-adventure" books of old. Super cool.
