You Choose Batman: Clayface Returns

Clayface is loose in Gotham, and the reader, not the author, decides how Batman handles him. Written by John Sazaklis and illustrated by Ethen Beavers, the book uses a branching structure: at each turning point the story offers choices, and following one path means leaving several others unread until the next time through. Some routes favour detective work, others go straight at the problem, and each ending arrives quickly enough to send a reader back to the first page. Repeat value is built into the format rather than added on. Things that make it work: • Branching choose-your-path structure with multiple endings • Full-colour comic-style illustrations by Ethen Beavers • Encourages rereading, since one pass covers only part of the book • A Capstone Books title featuring Batman and the villain Clayface Well matched to young superhero fans and to readers who like interactive stories, available from Boipoka.
