Track Star! by R. A. Montgomery takes YOU - a star student athlete - on an adventure through the pressures of competitive high school athletics. 9-12 year old readers will compete on the varsity track team in hopes of earning a college scholarship, juggling schoolwork, family, friends, and peer pressure along the way. Choose Your Own Adventure Track Star! is an interactive adventure book in which YOU decide what happens next. Do you take a vow of silence and start doping to improve your athletic performance? Or do you get the Feds involved? Can you trust your coaches' training advice? Should you quit track and accept a job as a research assistant?

Montgomery, and Search for the Mountain Gorillas by Jim Wallace.
