What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

This doesn't help very much but there are lists available:

Do any names ring a bell?

There were several of these books. And I remember reading a couple of them.

Here's a list with the pictures of the Choose your own adventure books by R. A. Montgomery

My favourite source for gamebooks is http://www.gamebooks.org/ It's filled with reviews and maybe one of them will jog your memory Unfortunately there's just not enough to go from in your description for me to recognise the book myself.

Is it an official Choose Your own Adventure book?

Note: Shelved as The Seven Serpents by Steve Jackson.
