Publisher's Description of Oregon Trail: Race To Chimney Rock

Go west, young pioneer--your journey begins here! In this first leg of your trek on the Oregon Trail, you need to find your way to Chimney Rock--but not without unpredictable challenges ahead. This is the first installment of four books that will take you all the way to Oregon Territory--if you make the right choices.

Now you can experience dying from dysentery in print! These choose-your-own adventure books are even more fun than the computer game, if you ask me. Each book covers an in-depth, first person narrative of the harrowing journey along the Oregon Trail from the point of view of a pioneer child, with you making all the big decisions. Every choice, from simply deciding to eat a certain dish to choosing whether or not to fjord a river on your own, can lead to huge repercussions for your journey. You'll get advice from friends, parents, townsfolk, guides, and Native Peoples along the way, but only you can choose what to do. Will you make the right calls, leading all the way to Oregon City? Or will you choose the paths fraught with destruction, succumbing to wild animals, disease, thieves, exhaustion, and natural disasters? With threats in abundance and over 20 possible endings for each book, this series is a thrilling adventure. Race to Chimney Rock, Danger at the Haunted Gate, Search for Snake River, and Road to Oregon City is a four-part series covering a different leg of the Oregon trail with the same pioneer family. Wagon Train Trek, Alone in the Wild, Calamity in the Cold, and Gold Rush! are stand alone adventures of the whole trail. The four-part series has more detailed comic-like illustrations within the pages, whereas the four separate books opt for pixilated images similar to the game. With much more detailed information than the game, this series would make an excellent supplement to an early American History study.
