Does your kid decide too late, and out of fear? So does Teo.

Teo is twelve, with Grandpa's old gold coin in his pocket and his dog, Lucky, at his side. His mom fixes airplanes, and airlines send her wherever a plane can't be fixed, for months. So Teo keeps landing where he doesn't know anyone. Grandpa left him a box with one paper for every place he chased a story. Every CROSSROADS book is a new country, a mystery with real history behind it, and twelve endings: three good, one secret, two that hurt. The best one doesn't go to the kid who guesses right. It goes to the kid who dares.
