Bookroo's summary

In 1850, a family embarks on a perilous journey to Chimney Rock along the Oregon Trail. With a covered wagon and oxen, they must brave wild animals, natural disasters, and treacherous rivers. As winter looms, every decision could mean survival or failure. Will they reach their destination, or will the unpredictable path claim them? With twenty-two possible endings, each choice shapes their fate. Can you guide them safely across the prairie, or will the trail's challenges prove too great? The journey to Oregon Territory begins with your decisions.

From the publisher

Go west, young pioneer–your journey begins here! In this first leg of your trek on the Oregon Trail, you need to find your way to Chimney Rock–but not without unpredictable challenges ahead. This is the first installment of four books that will take you all the way to Oregon Territory–if you make the right choices. In book one of this exciting choose-your-own-trail series, it’s 1850 and your first goal is to get your family, covered wagon full of supplies, and oxen to Chimney Rock on time. But hurry–you’ll need to make it through the rugged mountains before winter snow hits. Plus, there are wild animals, natural disasters, unpredictable weather, fast-flowing rivers, strangers, and sickness that will be sure to stand between you and your destination! Which path will get you safely across the prairie? With twenty-two possible endings, choose wrong and you’ll never make it to Chimney Rock on time. Choose right and blaze a trail that gets you closer to Oregon City!
