In this four-book juvenile fiction series featuring the popular Robertson family of Duck Commander and written by Phil’s grandson John Luke Robertson (with Travis Thrasher), readers are invited to participate in the zany fun of the Duck Commander world. After a few chapters, readers can choose to go down different paths―all filled with humor and life lessons.
In this volume, Jase and John Luke are offered the chance to go to a special island for the greatest hunt of their lives. They get to pick their weapon of choice and a unique location on the island―mountains, cave, forest, river, etc. Then they get to choose their animal. The only thing is that these aren’t ordinary animals. They are bigger and wilder than the Robertsons have ever seen. Will the guys be up for the challenge? Or will these bigger-than-normal animals show the Duck Commanders who is really in charge?
I can appreciate that this choose-your-own-adventure had a more linear plot than the other three in the series, but I’m excited to go back to starting at the beginning and ending at the end. None of this bouncing back and forth through the pages nonsense for me anymore.
When my boys were younger, they are 19 and 15 now; they enjoyed a particular type style of book where they were able to interact with the book by choosing how the story progressed. At the end of each chapter the book gives you a couple of different options that the reader can pick from allowing them to actively participate in the story. My boys loved those types of books! We spent hours reading the same book but with different decisions. So you can imagine my excitement when I found another set of books written in the same style and from our own Louisiana Royalty – the Duck Commanders!

But will they make the right choices to get back at the right time” The book isn’t to be read straight through. You read a chapter decide what you want to happen next and then go to the page that corresponds with your choice. Then when you are done, go back and read it all again but this time chose different outcomes.
These are fantastic books that will delight juvenile readers as well as some adults – especially if you are a fan of the popular Duck Commander gang. They are a favorite in my house!
