The Rings of Kether

Reach for this book when your child is seeking a sense of autonomy or struggling with the idea that their choices have real-world consequences. This interactive sci-fi adventure casts the reader as a high-ranking galactic agent tasked with infiltrating a drug-smuggling ring on the planet Kether. Because it uses a gamebook format, the reader must navigate moral dilemmas, manage resources, and engage in logical problem-solving to succeed. It is an excellent tool for developing executive function and resilience in middle-schoolers, as failure is part of the mechanic. The story explores themes of justice and bravery within a high-stakes, futuristic setting, making it ideal for reluctant readers who prefer the engagement of a video game over traditional prose.
