The Mystery of Ura Senke (Choose Your Own Adventure No. 44)


Can you solve the mystery of Ura Senke?

A priceless tea bowl has bveen stolen from Ura Senke, the well-known tea ceremony school in Japan. You volunteer to help your friends find it--but before you can start, you're kidnapped by the Yakuza, a vicious Japanese gang. You're thrown into a room with a gun-toting guard, and it looks as if there's no escape. But the guard falls asleep!

If you decide to steal his gun and escape, turn to page 39. If you decide to tiptoe past and hope you won't need a weapon, turn to page 44. Remember, the tea bowl is worth millions. Some people will stop at nothing to get it. You might end up at the bottom of a freezing lake--or recover the bowl and become a national hero!

What happens next in the story? It all depends on the choices "you" make. How does the story end? Only "you" can find out! And the best part is that you can keep reading and rereading until you've had not one, but many incredibly daring experiences!
