I had a lot of CYOA books. This one in particular, I remember this one well because you have talking animal companions, Fox and Owl, who offer up advice on any given situation. Except Owl was a fucking smug prick who would tell you to do lame-ass boring shit, and Fox's cool advice always got you killed.

Yo shit nigga I remember reading that for mandatory summer reading, I think.

Anyone remember this fucking thing? Jesus Christ. For a kids' book this stuff had some fucked up body horror.

btw this is an interesting trope, i know it goes back at least to one of the charles perrault fairy tales (that one about three wishes and sausage, albeit the wishes were wasted due to that guy and his wife own folly though, not to the malice of that one who granted them) and obviously 'the monkey paw' but not sure how far further

Uggh I fucking hated that book.

I remember my teacher at the time made people write alternate endings and more than a few of them involved the main kid brutally stabbing the other kid. The spirit bear would then eat the main kid and in one of them it gained the power of a Sonic the Hedgehog emerald and grew to Godzilla 1998 proportions and attacked Vancouver. I was in grade 9 at the time and I thought it was a real laugh.
