Living a human existence requires several things if one is to survive and thrive somewhat comfortably and securely, namely…. shelter, food, clothing, water, community, family, friends, and let’s not forget (or maybe you would rather forget)- money.

Beginning in 1979, there was a series of books published that were marketed for kids and teens between the ages of 7 and 14. This series was more or less a collection of interactive gamebooks, whereby the reader was the protagonist, or the hero or heroine of the story. The stories were all written in 2nd person, or the “you” or “your” perspective. YOU were the main character, and it was you who made all the choices that determined the story’s outcome and it was you as that main character who could create different endings.
