This is an interactive fiction narrative designed to encourage younger readers to complete the novel by casting them in the hero's role. Interactive fiction is lots of fun for kids, and it gives them fresh and exciting ways to improve their thinking and reading. Many children tell me they like interactive fiction because it's a thrilling way to read a story, a way that lets them feel active and involved. They enjoy using 'IF' to gain experience with all the major elements of literature, such as plot, setting, and point of view. Countless young people also enjoy the problem solving that comes with the 'IF' experience. These kids appreciate interactive fiction because it challenges them to recognize and solve problems in ways that no textbook seems able to match.Here's what kids themselves say about interactive fiction and about their favorite stories: Interactive fiction can be fun because it is like a game. You get to be a character and explore, and figure out puzzles. It's good because it gets people to use their imaginations. Kids like IF because it's fun. It gets you thinking and helps you learn strategy. Kids choose IF because they get to decide what happens next. Interactive fiction is literature in which the reader plays the part of an important character, deciding, within limits, what action that hero will take. By selecting certain options, the reader, or a group of readers, decide where the main characters will go, what objects they will pick up and use, how they will solve problems, and how they will interact with other characters. Many students find interactive fiction, also known as 'IF' or adventure gaming, an enjoyable way to gain experience with all the major elements of literature, 'though point of view takes an unusual twist or two.' Now that we've explained what Interactive Fiction is, let's define the convention for how our readers should complete this novel. The rules for finishing this work of fiction are modest. At the end of each chapter, the reader must choose. Sometimes, there can be multiple choices, in others only a single option is available. All the options are Hyperlinks in the eBook edition that will take the young adventurer along their specific path. The book lover cannot flip through the chapters as in a regular eBook. We have mixed up the chapters within the novel on purpose so it is impossible to make sense of the storyline without taking part. This is what interactive fiction is all about.Sorcerers' Mountain: A 'You Are the Hero' Adventure has 228 individual scenes. The shortest pathway from the beginning to the end of the story is 59 steps. This novel we've designed to be short enough to keep the young reader interested, but challenging enough to require they reflect upon the choices they make. Now let us begin the adventure.
