由孩子自己决定故事的发展！《The Hunt for the Kraken（追寻海怪 Kraken）》是 Dream Keeper Saga 作者 Kathryn Butler 创作的全新 Lamplight 系列第一册，也是一部让孩子亲自选择故事路线的互动式冒险小说。
前一分钟，你还在美国马萨诸塞州悠闲地钓鱼；下一刻，竟突然穿越到了 18 世纪，发现自己身处捕鲸船 Valiant上！船长是一个贪婪的海盗 Blackviper，他和船员们正在寻找传说中的神秘海怪——Kraken（北海巨妖）。
接下来会发生什么？由你决定！
在这本互动小说中，读者就是故事的主角。每个紧张刺激的章节结束时，都会出现两到三个不同的选择。孩子必须自己作出决定，然后继续阅读，看看自己的选择会把故事带向哪里。不同的选择会产生不同的发展，因此孩子可以一读再读，探索不同的故事路线和结局。
冒险过程中，孩子将经历猛烈的海上风暴、炮火攻击、巨型海洋生物以及各种危险挑战。书中也穿插相关的圣经经文，提醒孩子：无论自己的选择带来好的还是不好的结果，上帝仍然与他们同在。
故事更进一步引导孩子思考如何把圣经的智慧运用在真实生活的选择中，包括顺服父母、帮助别人、处理冲突、作出明智决定，以及在犯错或遇到困难时倚靠上帝的恩典。
本书采用独特的**“选择你自己的冒险”互动形式**，适合 8–12 岁的孩子独立阅读，也非常适合亲子一起阅读和讨论。孩子不仅是在“看故事”，更是在一次次选择中学习：如何按照圣经真理作决定，并在每一个选择中学习信靠上帝。
