A cave with many ways through time

A hike in Snake Canyon leads into a cave whose branching paths carry the reader to different points in time. The book’s choose-your-own-adventure structure makes each decision part of the journey, with 40 possible endings to uncover. The supplied description names encounters ranging from early humans and a woolly mammoth to medieval knights and the Titanic, while also leaving room for a route into the future. The changing destinations make time travel the organizing idea of the adventure: the cave connects a maze of choices to sharply different historical settings.

Will you be captured by medieval knights and put on trial before a king? Or will you find yourself a passenger on board the Titanic moments before it hits an iceberg? With every twist and turn you choose, an entirely new adventure awaits you in the past ... or maybe even the future!

A generation of readers was enraptured by this instant classic title, and for many it's their first and strongest memory of Choose Your Own Adventure. Long-time fans will eagerly dive into revisiting this gem from the early days of the series, and kid readers will love discovering the Cave of Time as they navigate a maze of choices to discover every path and find the wildest endings.
