About the author

Matt Doeden was born in southern Minnesota and lived parts of his childhood in Golden Valley, Minnesota, and Madison, Minnesota. He studied journalism at Mankato State University, where he worked at the college newspaper for three years. In his senior year, he served as the paper's Sports Editor, which put him in charge of the entire sports section, the sports writers, and the photographers. He covered mostly college sports, but also the Minnesota Vikings, who held training camp at MSU.

His work allowed him to meet and interview people like Dennis Green, Cris Carter, Robert Smith, and more. Matt went on to work as a sports writer for the Mankato paper, and then he got a job as an editor with a small children's publisher called Capstone Press, and in 2003 he decided to start his own business as a freelance writer and editor.

Since then, Matt has written and edited hundreds of books. Lots of them are on high-interest topics like cars, sports, and airplanes. He also writes and edits on geography, science, and even math.

Not really a book so much as a game. Fun read though.

The book review

I liked that you can choose the books and it tells real information. This book helps people know how to do things, and tell them what to do when they are in the situation. You can also know how your life can be so you can try to imagine being there so you know what’s happening.

Apparently I can only survive an asteroid strike if I abandon my family and choose to help a random stranger - but ONLY if that stranger turns out to work at the White House. Seems about right.
