Mystery of the Maya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mystery of the Maya is a book written by R.A. Montgomery.
Originally written by R.A. Montgomery as the 11th book in the Choose Your Own Adventure Series, it was initially published in 1981 by Bantam Books. It joined The Abominable Snowman, Journey Under the Sea and a number of Montgomery’s Choose Your Own Adventures in the 2005 re-release of the series under its new publisher Chooseco LLC, which is owned in part by Montgomery himself. Upon the republished it was renumbered as book 5th in the “New” Series
The Mystery of the Maya begins with the reader following a clue and a nightmare to Mexico to find their best friend Tom. Explore ancient ruins, investigate missing persons, even travel back in time. The choices in Mystery of the Maya take the reader through a web of possibilities to the end they make for themselves.
As is the custom for Choose Your Own Adventure, the story is told from the “You” perspective, placing the reader as the protagonist and giving them a new choice virtually every page until they reach an end, at which point they have either succeeded or met some potentially terrible fate.
The story has also been modernized to reflect the changes in technology.
