Quirky! For the best reading experience, have sticky notes or colored tabs nearby to keep your spot. The artwork is very fun and shapely. The smallest of choices leads to the wackiest ends - and sometimes, our characters don't make it out alive.

There's one joke that may rub some readers the wrong way, when a heavily implied "almond mom" rejects a muffin because she has to stay "datable." Hopefully, most kids just see that as a silly throwaway line. The majority of this book is filled with show more fantastical elements and quite a bit of gross-out humor.

Megan, the main character, has a hard time standing up for herself, especially against a wacky principal or school bully, or even gaining the courage to talk to her crush.

I'm so curious about the layout for these type of choose your own adventure stories. How do they choose how to break it up? show less

Cute. Your typical 'choose your own adventure' book. Get your bookmarks and sticky notes ready!

SN: Did anyone else get ominous vibes from the dad? the way the mc was scared of her dad felt beyond parental punishment to me with the way the scenes ended so abruptly.

Cute, fun, weird. If you enjoy vampires who can't resist candy, this is the all ages book for you! Limited color palette used to good effect.

Fine enough. The story was cute. Good pick by my 9-year-old.
