Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Master of Martial Arts
Richard Brightfield · 1992
60/100
👎 Skip It
Choose Your Own Adventure books have a special place in getting reluctant readers to turn pages, and this one delivers the format's core pleasures — fast decisions, multiple endings, action-packed choices. But the late-series CYOA books are thinner than the early classics, and the Bangkok setting leans on dated 1990s exotic framing that may need a conversation. Worth pulling off a library shelf; not worth tracking down to buy.
