Endangered Operation

You are a junior zookeeper in charge of a newborn Amur tiger cub, and the cub is suddenly snatched by VILE, the criminal organization that is trafficking exotic animals to a wealthy collector. Carmen Sandiego soon arrives on the scene, and the choice of how to get your cub back is yours. Working alongside her, you can help defeat VILE and free the other creatures it has captured, or take a different path entirely.

This choose-your-own-adventure caper takes readers across the world. Your decisions might lead you through a chase among the thieves in Vienna's ancient zoo, into the tangled jungles of Brazil, or to the far-off islands of New Zealand. Along the way you will work to rescue endangered animals, including the tiger cub, a rare Cropan's boa, and a flightless kakapo.

The story offers twenty different endings, so each reading can turn out differently. You might save the animals, be captured by VILE, or even end up becoming a villain yourself. It is written for young readers who enjoy being the hero of their own adventure.
