I enjoy most interactive decision-making books. Throughout the book, the child or young teen reader is confronted with difficult decisions. The reader's choice influences the outcome of the story. Unfortunately, I felt that this particular book is considerable weaker than the "Decision is Yours" series.
In this book, a girl is struggling to come to terms with her parents' divorce. Although the reader is offered a brancing plot based on choices, most of the decisions seem to end up with a similar happy ending. The daughter always seems to quickly come to accept her father's remarriage. I think that this sort of book works better if you have the option to come to an unhappy ending. Children may benefit from trying out several different scenarios and different types of endings. This book does not give the child this option. I found myself getting frustrated when each time I chose a different path, I still ended up in the same warm cozy place.
