Here, readers are transported to a dangerous medieval world filled with evil kings, dragons, and other enchanted threats.Īs a kid, I was hooked on sci-fi – and R.A. The book also has around 40+ different endings which gave me many hours of fun trial-and-error.Įdward Packard later built upon his original concept of a cavernous time-portal in The Forbidden Castle – another favorite of mine. I loved the wild idea of a time-portal cave that could bring me on unexpected journeys. As such, it remains a big sentimental favorite of mine. However, the The Cave of Timewas the very first book that opened my eyes to the entire Choose Your Own Adventure series. For example, I often had to decide on whether to “go right” or “left” down a cave corridor. A few of the choices I was given felt a bit arbitrary. I wouldn’t consider The Cave of Time to be the absolute best Choose Your Own Adventure book available (there are far better ones). I also had the chance to meet Abraham Lincoln on yet another attempt. My next time-travel journey brought me to an apocalyptic Earth being scorched by the Sun. In one read-through, I found myself in the Ice Age, where I hung out with some friendly cave-people. Of course, where you end up is entirely up to the choices you make.
Instead, it’s actually a time-portal with the power to transport you to any point in history. You assume the role of a kid who, while hiking, accidentally discovers a strange cave. It will be published on Monday, July 20th, 2020.As the very first Choose Your Own Adventure book, I feel Edward Packard‘s The Cave of Time really helped to set the right tone for many great adventures to come.
