Detective: You is an interactive mystery series for ages 9-13 that allows readers to become the detective and solve puzzles, crack codes, and make choices that affect the story. Every clue counts, and every choice changes the investigation. In this Choose Your Path thriller, players identify suspects, navigate puzzles, and solve the mystery. When their parents surprise them with a solo trip to visit their cousin in the Desert Southwest, they pack their bags and prepare for adventure. On a hike through Vulture Point Park, they are stunned to discover graffiti scrawled across the park's iconic rocks. Authorities believe the graffiti is destructive but not dangerous, but the player is not so sure. The more clues they uncover, the more convinced they are that something major is about to go down. They are pulled into a twisted plot that threatens to destroy the entire park and take countless lives. The stakes are high, the danger is real, and the countdown has begun. The player is the detective in this puzzling mystery by acclaimed author Deb Mercier. As they work their way through the story, it is up to them to identify suspects and gather clues, make choices that affect what happens, navigate challenging puzzles, and use deductive reasoning to determine what the crime was, how it happened, and whodunit. Interactive books for kids are more popular than ever, and Detective: You is a great example of this trend. Players can create their own adventure with the Detective: You book series for boys and girls. They are the main character, and they make the choices. Will they solve the case?
