This book was both classic and entirely unique. The two main characters are Amelia and Chase. Amelia has this amazing tarot card deck that was handed down from her grandmother. Her grandmother taught her and Chase everything she knows about the tarot, and now year later, as a last great hurrah of the summer before college, 4 friends set off on a trip guided by tarot. Their trip quickly turns to an adventure when their first stop sets in motion a grand treasure hunt to find the 4 intentionally missing cards from her famous deck. This book was a wonderful adventure. It is a choices novel, so the reader helps make choices throughout the book. What makes this unique is the choices center more on the characters personality rather than actions, and it helps change the meaning and the thought process of the trip. It also will teach the reader a bit about themselves and they learn about the tarot. Overall, this was a great fun read and should get more attention.
