Description

Play the main character in your own adventure story! Each richly illustrated situation includes a disaster, and you must choose between three options for survival. As you choose, you'll learn real-world survival skills as well as facts about wild animals, natural disasters, and everyday accidents. 

As you dash to catch your flight home from a tropical trip, your dream vacation in Borneo quickly turns into a nightmare. Your plane crashes in the Himalayas! You’re charged by a rhino in India! A rip current in Australia sucks you out to sea! What do you do? In each situation, you’ll have a choice to make—and the actions you choose will determine whether you make it home. For each disaster choice, you're directed to a different page to find out if you survived—or not—and why. Adventures include venomous snake bite, avalanche, car submersion, hotel fire, quicksand, lightning strike, lionfish sting, shark attack, elevator plunge, yellow jacket attack,and more! Each adventure leads to the next disaster, keeping you riveted page after page. 

Unlike most survival guides, which are deadly serious, the lively and informative text of Will You Survive? is beautifully designed and filled with photographs, illustrations, infographics, and icons. You'll have as much fun poring over the images as you will reading the text. Best yet, the next time you're cornered by a snow leopard or caught in an earthquake, you'll know what to do!

I adore choose your own adventure books, they hold a special place in my heart. This book was great! I loved choosing my own path although sometimes I didn't like any of the options. I really liked that the book gave tips and pointers when you made a wrong choice, to educate the reader.

Our family loved this book! We learned a lot, we laughed a lot and we had a great time reading through the scenarios and making our choices, as well as guessing what would happen if you chose poorly. Another fantastic side note is that this book really added my my daughter's virtual Scout experience, during the pandemic. Her troop was able to use it as a team building activity during their virtual meeting. We are very grateful for the chance to read and review this book and would happily recommend it to others for group activities. The one downside, of course, is that it isn't likely to be a book you'll read through again and again, as you'll already know the outcomes. But, that doesn't diminish its value, in my eyes, It just means you can pass this on to others to enjoy!

Most of us are not going to bet by a venomous snake any time soon, nor are we going to be in an avalanche in the same week, and then an earthquake. But, at some point in our lives, one of these things can happen, so wouldn't it be good to know what to do?

If you are in an earthquake, is it best to stand in the doorframe? Run outside? Duck and cover?

This is a choose your own adventure type book which gives you choices, and then lets you know which ones will kill you or let your survive. Do you run from a snow leopard? Do you sock a shark on the nose? Do you lie down and play dead for a rhino?

No to all of those.

The only thing you should run from are hornets. And the book makes a joke about it being the only thing you should run from.

This is a fun middle-grade book that teaches you how to survive, and still is a fun little adventure.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This was a very entertaining and informative book. It was difficult to read in an ebook format since I had to swipe through all the pages to get to my choice, but as a traditional book I think readers from 3rd grade through adult would enjoy this book. The layout on each page was interesting and the pictures were at times funny but also accurate and colorful. Highly recommend this read, especially for reluctant readers who are adventure seekers!

Test your survival skills in this intense choose your own adventure style guidebook. Filled with photos and diagrams and great beginning information to illustrate key survival concepts, you will enjoy the chance to learn how more and relish the excitement when you already know the answer. Perfect companion for discussions and great for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages. Very enjoyable!

No, I did not survive. This is an interactive book about disasters and how to survive them. It does not have the complexity of similar books as if you did not survive an episode then you went back only one page. Some books are more complex than this and you can end up reading the whole book more than once if your choices do not work out well for you. It is a format that I have used successfully with readers who cannot find anything to read and this book will be as popular as others.

It is fun.

Who didn't love "choose your own adventure" books when they were a kid? So I was very excited to see a version for adults. While I don't agree with all of the information/choices available, the author chose a really unique way to educate people, especially when you make an unsafe choice.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is z fantastic book for anyone who loves adventures. This is a fun book with three possible options for each bad thing that happens in the adventure. Will you make it home?

This is a great way for children to learn what to do in certain scenarios in a fun format.

I really enjoyed this book and learned a few things too. I did choose the wrong option a few times and had to go back and choose a better option but this was all part of the fun and learning.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* Really cool adventure book, reminded me of the goosebumps where you chose your adventure but much shorter lol

This is a fun choose-your-own-adventure type of book for kids where they make choices in dangerous situations to see if they'd make the best choices. For instance, they crash land in the Himalayas, encounter a snow leopard, get bit by a snake, etc. If they make a bad choice, it just tells them to go back and make a better one, instead of telling them they'll die. Color photos show all of the choices and it gives a little synopsis for why each choice is a good or bad one. This is likely to be a hit with older kids and the middle school age, plus they'll learn a bit along the way.

this book is so much fun. My favorite thing about this book is how all of the choices interacted and told a complete story. I also liked how it provided real life knowledge on the different choices. My only complaint is that I wished it was longer!

I loved the fact that this book was interactive, it reminded me of the choose your own adventures books. Whilst it wasn’t really a great format on a e-reader I think the book would be great for kids as they get to control whether they live or die by the choices the6 make throughout. We loved it.
