Review

In a new series of choose-your-own-adventure-style books, Matt Forbeck writes the Endless Quest books that take middle school readers through actual Dungeons & Dragons content in an adventure filled quest. To Catch a Thief puts the reader in the place of a halfling rogue (one of the many options for players in the actual Dungeons & Dragon game). After trying to steal from a noble looking woman, the reader is tasked with stealing a baby griffon. On their way, the adventurer may find more than they bargained for. There are many twists and turns that lead to success or failure. This series of books is particularly good for kids who are already hooked on D&D, kids who love this style of book, or both. It may be an excellent way to introduce kids to Dungeons & Dragons if they haven't heard of it before, or to get kids who are into D&D reading more books. Purchase wherever either is popular.

Overall Book Score: good
