Wonderlit Review

Escape from Castle Ravenloft offers a unique entry point into the Dungeons & Dragons universe for young readers. As an interactive chapter book, it places the reader directly into the shoes of a cleric attempting to flee the menacing Count Strahd. The narrative is driven by reader choices, leading to multiple possible endings. While the publisher lists an age range of 4-11, the chapter book format and themes of vampires and peril are best suited for readers aged 7 and up, particularly those who enjoy fantasy and a touch of spooky adventure. It handles sensitive topics like danger and the threat of becoming undead in a mild, adventure-focused way, making it exciting rather than truly frightening. This book is perfect for a child who loves making decisions and exploring different story outcomes.
