I have ordered multiple copies of this book for inclusion in an archeaology/history trunk that will be circulated from our state's historical society. A lesson plan on the Chinese immigrant experience has been designed around them. The episodes are brief, so not a big time commitment out of Social Studies classes is necessary. The episodes are also realistic -- not every adventure chosen by students will culminate in a happy ending. Just like the real Chinese immigrants, students may or may not be successful (or survive) as a result of their choices. In their work as underpaid miners or railroad builders, Chinese died from explosions, avalanches, and other dangers, and these story lines are historically authentic. I have other titles in the "You Choose" series in my library; students really like them. I wish there were reading program quizzes available for them.
I read this to my 3rd grade class. They enjoyed picking their own adventure. This book is good for students.
