"TRY NOT TO DIE AT GRANDMA'S HOUSE aims at an audience of older readers nostalgic for the interactive storylines of their youth, and it has enough action and decision-making to fill that bill admirably." - IndieReader "Wonderful choose your own story. The story is one that is creepy enough for kids but also keeps adults interested as well. I have to say I loved the narrator of this book!" -Crash 86 "A fun, engaging book for the YA audience. I am going to order some for my school library's loaner Kindles. A great way to hook kids into reading, and also thoroughly enjoyable for adults." -R.A. Dickey "I LOVED choose your own ending books. Even tho I am over 40 this book was suspenseful and fun and I killed the better part of a day reading it. I kept dying :) I finally chose the right ending. The story was engaging and exciting." -lilwolfmisty "I had a lot of fun with this book, and stayed up all night trying to not die in the story. I tried to figure out a logical way to make sure to not die, but couldn't find one. I remember the kids books as having adventures that were short and ended too soon. This book provides longer adventures. The endings are rather gruesome, so this book is not for everyone. But I certainly enjoyed choosing the path and trying to not kill my baby sister." -C. "When I was a kid I loved these kinds of books. It was always so exciting to try a new one and I'd spend hours flipping back and forth, trying to get every outcome, so it is super cool to see that these are still a thing. The story definitely gave me The Visit vibes for awhile, but ended up being pretty unique." -Brianna "I really loved the interaction of reading the different choices involved with this book. It reminded me of all those video games I played, the ones where you tested the game's graphics, animation, and actions when your character dies (intentionally or not), I had to see all the different bad choices in this book to kill off my main character in this book. I mean, how many times have you read a book where you could do just that? LOL! Awesome concept, I loved it. I would definitely recommend this book to others." -Annabele "Try really hard. I died a million deaths. The author thought of every avenue to get you dead. I tried adult logic, kid logic, I tried with my head, heart, & balls... DEAD. A riveting tale & a super fun reading experience." -Nunya "It was a lot of fun getting to choose what to do even though I died a lot. This is a YA novel but I had so much fun reading it. It was such a good story and full of surprises. I definitely recommend this book!" -RAD "The story was entertaining, the dialogue never once felt forced, and I would easily recommend this book to another reader. Try Not to Die: At Grandma's House is well-written and I wouldn't hesitate in picking up the second book." -Cindy "Character development was great. Once could see the progression of each character." - Y. Correa "I really enjoyed the ease at which I was directed back to the previous choices. I loved the storyline and I was engrossed until I finally finished the story completely. I would definitely read more from these authors. Great job." -Bettina "I went down the various options to see what would happen and while I made some bad choices, it was fun to do. There is some gore when you choose certain paths but not over the top for kids and well-written enough for adults, like me, to enjoy as well." -Chris N "I enjoyed testing all of the different paths. I liked that when you get a bad ending you are told what page to go back to so you don't have to start over." -Brad In addition to being the creator of the Try Not to Die series, Mark Tullius is the author of several books, including Brightside, 25 Perfect Days, and Twisted Reunion.
