Review: Can You Survive Storm Chasing?: An Interactive Survival Adventure


Can You Survive Storm Chasing?: An Interactive Survival Adventure
Can You Survive Storm Chasing?: An Interactive Survival Adventure by Elizabeth Raum

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



An informational spin on the choose your own adventure structure, embedding the 2nd-person 'you' character (me) into factual scenarios of extreme weather. The choices were pretty benign, until I made a wrong one! (And ended up with a severed carotid artery from a flying shard of glass.)

Elizabeth Raum did a good job of working in the real-life science work with the facts about each kind of storm. Quick pacing of the plot elements makes up for lack of development in the stock story.

Just enough photos, but maybe could have used more? Back matter good for informational text. Uncertain whether bibliography items were Raum's sources or her ideas for extension texts.
