Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Snowboard Racer
Anson Montgomery · 1995
64/100
👎 Skip It
A competent entry in the Choose Your Own Adventure series that does what the format does well — reader agency, replay value, and a sports setting that appeals to athletic-minded kids. Characterization is thin by design and the page count keeps depth minimal. A fine choice for a reluctant reader or a CYOA collector, but not a standout even within the series.
