The Mutants Take Manhattan (Choose Your Own Adventure Book)

[oldmanwinters]

I think I'm more excited about this book than I should be but... oh man, it's the very first "Choose Your Own Adventure" TMNT book... and it's set in the classic TMNT toon verse like the era when that actually would have been a tie-in... and... hey look!... it's got Mona Lisa too! Already pre-ordered a copy on Amazon but January feels like a long wait!


The product listing has been online for a month or two, but the official description was recently added:

This thrilling new Choose Your Own Adventure book is based on Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Are YOU ready to be a ninja and journey through the dark side of New York City? Join Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Splinter, April O'Neil, and more of the Turtles' classic friends and foes. The decisions YOU make will decide the fates of the characters and lead to unexpected, thrilling, and even dangerous outcomes. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans of all ages will love this radical addition to the Choose Your Own Adventure series.

PREVIEW: When evil attacks, these Turtle boys cut them no slack! Out of the sewers and onto the streets of New York City, the heroes in a half-shell have been bringing the Turtle Power with plenty of pizza and keeping the city safe since their classic animated series in particular ushered in the wave of turtlemania that continues to this day. Cowabunga!

WANT TO KNOW MORE? You and your family arrive in New York City when a group of super-intelligent called the Simian Corps make a jewelry heist at the nearby Gem Spire State Building. And they also kidnap your mother, and you must decide how to pursue them! After you meet the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, your choices lead to different paths. You might find yourself in the Channel 6 copter filming news for April O'Neil or rocketing through NYC streets in the Turtle Van. Characters like Mona Lisa and Splinter join you along the way. As you go, you uncover multiple threats and villains. At the center of it all is the Mastermind of Minutia--and she's a giant teenage girl! The Mastermind wants to both "upgrade" humanity AND ban pizza. (The horror!) In the shadows, the Mastermind has a mysterious and diabolical partner helping with her schemes. This leads to a high-altitude showdown in the Mastermind's invisible blimp above Manhattan. This wild ride has plenty of options for heroic victories and funny failures! As you and the Turtles battle apes, mutants, and villains, you have to make choices against a ticking clock. Can you save New York City from the Mastermind of Minutia's pizza-banning upgrades? Turn the page and find out!

Despite everything, it makes me happy to see my boys still getting new books like this! And I’m glad Mona Lisa is right smack on the cover too!

Better than reading it as “Fart King”, right?
