  Three paths....
  The paths present a balance to this piece of history: women's role; of course the patriot, which includes the salior, (a piece I wasn't awair of); and the loyalist.
  
  The book includes a 'read more' which I interpret as the bibliography, index, glossary, and 'other paths to explore' which addresses the role of American Indians, southern slaves, and the Hessians.

  I usually don't love the books in this series that refer to real events, but this one was actually really good.

  Our oldest brought this book home from her elementary school library. It's the second
  You Choose historical adventure book that we've read together and our girls really like them. I remember loving books like this in my childhood and I love that our girls are discovering them as well. I also like that this book has an educational component, teaching about the events of the day that drew the colonists into the Revolutionary War.
  
  Overall, this is an interesting and very dramatic story. It offers a broader perspective than other history books with characters from both sides of the conflict. The book includes nonfiction facts and historical notes, but the storylines are historical fiction, based on people who lived at that time in history.
  
  We enjoyed taking turns following the various paths and our girls were eager to return again and again until we'd followed them all. I am sure that our oldest will bring more books like this home from her school library.

  It was interesting to read about the events of the war. I kept track of all the options in the book. It turned out there were forty-six different outcomes depending on the choices the reader made as they read. The reader has three options for what they wanted to do during the war. For some choices, the reader ends up dying. Chapter 2 has nine stories, none of the options given brings death to you. In chapter 3, there were sixteen different story options, and you end up dying in two. Finally, in chapter 3 there is a grand total of twenty-two stories, with two pages. In eight stories, the reader is killed. For those ten stories, I wondered if it would've been beneficial to have read the last chapter, since the reader wasn't around to experience the establishment of the United States. To keep the options equal, I did it anyway for those times the reader died. There are a grand total of forty-six different stories.

  I am currently reading the revolutionary war. The author of this book is Elizebeth Raum. This book is book is about a guy you choose and you pretty much choose what you get to do. The author did a good job at coming up with the paths. I really like this book because has a lot of history and this book probably makes you feel like your in the book more than any other book. You can really picture the story as you choose what you want to do in the book.I also like this book because you get to meet like famous people in history like George Washington. And I forgot to mention that you get to choose what side you are on. This book does NOT have a climax and that thing.It is really cool because everything that happened in this book happened to real people.

  this book is a really good book it really shows you the life of being a person fighting a war and all the risks you have to make; and shows you all the men women and teenagers that gave their lives for us. and shows that we should keep giving to the ones in need of support like they did to us!
