First of all, a huge thank you to Faye Rogers for inviting me to be a part of this blog tour and to Scholastic Books for the copy of Create Your Own Spy Mission in return for an honest review. I was drawn to this book purely out of curiosity at first as I used to love the create your own adventures that I read when I was younger and wondered what it would be like to read one as an adult. Well, thank you very much Andrew and Chris Judge, while reading (and playing, as there is a lot of playing involved) with this book, I completely regressed to my inner child and had a ball in the process!

I'm not going to mention a whole lot about the story-line in the book for a couple of reasons. First of all, there are a few different ways the story can go as anyone who has read a "create your own" book will know. Based on the decisions you make as you are reading, the book can take you in a completely different way on a whole new adventure whilst seamlessly wrapping it all up in the end and making you want to go straight back to the beginning and try another path! Secondly, it's meant to be a SPY mission of course and telling you all about the plot would spoil the fun completely!

I was slightly worried at the beginning of the book, I have to be honest as I'm a bit obsessive compulsive over not scribbling in books and god forbid, ripping and tearing it seemed a bit too scary to contemplate. However, I got into the spirit of things, doodled and ripped away like a woman possessed and had a great time doing it. I can fully imagine children loving how interactive this book actually is and for any kid who sees themselves as a bit of artistic talent or of course a super spy waiting in the wings, this book is a dream come true. I can also see this book as a fantastic introduction for anybody that has children who may be reluctant readers due to the interactivity it involves and the encouragement to (shock horror) draw in books!

Buy it, doodle away, rip and fold it and above all - have fun.
