To Catch a Thief by Matt Forbeck
3.0

I happened to spot this as the library and just had to pick it up and have a look!
I haven't read a choice book since I was a teen reading the Dr Who ones my local library had!

I'm a sucker for them - and I'm one of those people who likes to flick between the different options and see all the potential outcomes too.

Whilst I didn't overly enjoy this as a story, it was okay but nothing amazing, I love the concept. I read this one aloud with my wife who plays dnd with me and worked through the story together.

It would probably work best with a reader who already knows a bit about dnd, but could still be followed by someone with no knowledge at all.

I think I might start up a little collection of these. Maybe even see what other current franchises still make choice books. I think they would be a perfect way to give younger readers something different, and maybe even a good end of week read aloud story with a class, getting them to debate the choices and vote as we read along together.
