I did really like the concept of this book where you get to choose your own storyline and it’s a much more immersive reading experience. There are many options on how to make the story come together and I found myself going back and forth at certain points to see who it would’ve turned out if I choose something else. In this one you are visiting a museum with your family and your little brother runs off, some mixups occur and he gets transported to some time in time and you need to find him within two hours or he’ll disappear forever. You get to choose past or future and encounter different obstacles and decisions. I did really like the time travel concept just some aspects not to my likening.

This book was delightfully nostalgic! There’s great attention to detail with the different storylines and even the instructions for moving through the adventure. I had a blast with these when I was younger and I enjoyed starting over and following the different adventure paths as an adult too.

Love a good goosebumps book! Defo gonna grab another of these bad bois! The actually tension you feel making choices in this book is such a different sensation to other reading experiences; loved it as a kid love it now. Being in control is a book game changer and goosebumps does it well.
