The thirty-third title in the middle grade Choose Your Own Adventure series for readers ages 9-12.
Blood on the Handle by R. A. Montgomery takes YOU, a young detective living in New Orleans, on a murder-mystery adventure.
Written from the second-person point of view, the reader returns home one day to discover blood spatter and a missing Uncle Morgan, and must choose what happens next in the story: If you get back on your bike and turn around, turn to page 65. If you stay to help Uncle Morgan, turn to page 68.
You live with your Uncle Morgan in his gothic mansion in New Orleans. You come home one day to find his study splattered with blood and a dagger sticking out of the floor. Being the detective that you are, you must search for clues, but can you trust your uncle's friends? Do the secret passageways of the old New Orleans mansion hold the answers?
Middle grade readers will go on high-speed chases through New Orleans, search for answers in a wax museum and wander into a voodoo ceremony, all while having fun reading and choosing.
