Poseidon Pier is a children's book of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" variety which used to be popular when I was still a teenager but I haven't seen many of in a while. I am a big fan of Devan Sagaliani's work with Zombies Attack! and was interested in reading this as soon as I heard about it.
It's a fairly short read since there's a variety of choices to be made but fun from beginning to end. The premise is a set of friends find themselves heading to a strange not-yet-opened section of an amusement park with deadly games, monsters, and an insane staff.
It's all very lighthearted and more Goosebumps than Devan Sagaliani's usual fair. Honestly, I kind of wish he'd done this as a Goosebumps-esque novel but as an interactive story, it works just fine. I also really liked the cover.
