 READ THIS FIRST!!!

Most books are about other people.

This book is about you!
What happens to you at the Statue of Lib-
erty depends on what you decide to do.
Do not read this book from the first page
through to the last page. Instead, start at page
one and read until you come to your first
choice. Decide what you want to do. Then
turn to the page shown and see what hap-
pens.
When you come to the end of a story, go
back and try another choice. Every choice
leads to a new adventure.

Are you ready to explore the Statue of Lib-

erty? Then turn to page one.
Good luck!
 You've come to visit the Statue of Liberty!
You and the other kids at your day camp
rode the bus to New York City. Then you
waited for the ferry at a place called Battery
Park.
Your counselor is named Heather. She's in
charge of you and five other kids. But she
doesn't know that Charley has come along on
this trip too.

Charley your pet flying squirrel. Another

is

camper, Sandra, dared you to bring him.

Charley, the first flying squirrel at the Statue of
Liberty? Why not? So you tucked him into
your backpack this morning!
Flying squirrels usually sleep in the
you
daytime. But, just in case, stuffed some
walnuts into your backpack — they'll keep
Charley busy if he wakes up.

Turn to page 2.
2 Now you're on the ferry, sailing across New
York Harbor. You breathe in the salt air as you
steam past tugboats and freighters. Right in

front of you is Liberty Island!

hears his name. And he chatters at you rudely.
You climb a little closer to Charley. Should
you make a grab for him? You'll have to lean
away from the ladder. And you'll be hanging
on with only one hand. You'll be taking a
chance on falling. . . .

Maybe you should first try to make Charley

come to you.

'There it is —the statue! ' The crowd on the

ferry becomes quiet.
"My grandfather came
America seventy to
years ago, " a woman behind you murmurs to
a friend. "He was just a boy when he saw the
statue for the first time. He had left a hard life
behind, and he felt the statue was welcoming
him to a new life of freedom.
u
How tall is the statue?" you ask Heather.
It's as tall as a twenty-two-story building,'
she tells you. And you believe it! As the ferry
circles the island Miss Liberty towers over
you.
"Who made it?" Sandra asks.
"A French sculptor named Frederic Au-
guste Bartholdi," Heather answers. The
statue was a gift from the people of France.
"How did it get here from Paris?" another
kid asks.
The was made in three hundred

pieces so it could be packed into crates. It
was shipped over on a boat in 1885."

You decide to tell the ranger about Charley.

You'd be in even more trouble if you sneaked
up the ladder!
"It'smy flying squirrel," you say. "He's got-
ten out of my backpack. think he might have

climbed up the statue's arm.

"I didn't see him up there, " says the ranger.
"But I'll take another look." He climbs back
up the steel ladder.

The statue's upraised right arm has been

closed to the public since 1916. But before
then visitors loved to stand on the little bal-
cony around the torch the statue holds.
In fact, people in the United States stood on
that balcony ten years before the rest of the

statue arrived! The French people had raised

the money to build the statue. The Americans
were supposed to pay for the statue's base.
But they didn't seem very interested in doing
that.

Turn to page 33.

 On the statue'shead is a crown with seven
points — for the seven continents and the
seven seas. She carries a torch in her right
hand. In her left she holds a large tablet. JULY
iv mdcclxxvi is written on —the date
it of the
signing of the Declaration of Independence. A
broken chain lies at her feet. It stands for free-
dom.
Soon the ferry docks. You all walk to the
bottom of the statue.

Turn to page 14.

1Q "Group, we have to stay together! " you
hear Heather calling down from above you.
"Coming! " you call back.
Then a shriek rings out from somewhere
farther up the stairs. "EEEE! A mouse!' a
woman screams.
"It has to be Charley," you tell Sandra.
You peer up at the web of iron rods. You
don't see anything moving on them. But
Charley must be on his way to the statue's
crown —or the torch. . . .

You try to hurry. But thousands of people

visit the statue every day. The iron staircases
going up and down are too narrow for more
than one person at a time. You can't squeeze
past —
anyone you have to move very slowly.
Finally you reach the statue's right shoulder.
Has Charley climbed up the arm toward the
torch? you wonder. Or is he headed for the
crown?

// you think Charley is climbing toward the

torch, turn to page 36.

If you think hes headed for the crown,

turn to page 30.
 You think Charley is too excited to come to 13
you. So you'll try to grab him before the
ranger grabs you\
You move carefully up the ladder. But
Charley just jumps to a higher iron bar!
The statue's arm is getting narrower. You've
climbed to the wrist . . . you're in the bottom
of the torch itself. But Charley stays just out of
reach.
Now he scampers upward again. You
scramble forward! You once heard that squir-
rels can shed their tails if they're caught. You

hope it isn't true.

There's a small door at the top of the ladder.
And you grab Charley by his furry tail as he
scurries through it!

Turn to page 32.

14 You climb the stairs to the huge stone ped-
estal the statue stands on. There's a small mu-
seum in the pedestal. But you take an elevator
right to the hem of Miss Liberty's long skirt.

Your group has decided to climb to her crown

before you do anything else!
There are more than a hundred steps to the
top. But you've only gotten to the first rest
platform when it happens. "I can feel Charley
wiggling around," you whisper to Sandra.
"See if he's okay!"
Sandra unzips your backpack to look in-
side —and the squirrel springs out!
"Grab him!" you shout.
"He's too quick!" Sandra says.
Charley scoots off the platform. Now he's
hiding somewhere in the Statue of Liberty!
Should you look for him up the stairs? Or J.5
should you look downstairs?

You're not even sure it was Charley on her

shoulder. You'd better look around the island
instead.
You turn away from the wharf and here —
comes the little girl! You were in such a hurry
that you ran right past her. You see that the
animal on her shoulder isn't Charley at all
she's carrying a gray teddy bear!
So where is your flying squirrel? You stare
up at the statue. Near the top of the statue's
pedestal is a stone balcony. That might be the
very place for Charley!
You back toward the statue. But you

you reach them.
You try to hurry down the stairs. But there
are some very slow people in front of you. The
elevator reaches the bottom of the pedestal
long before you do. You run outside. Where is
the little girl?

Turn to page 22.

18 What does Charley do when he runs free at
home? you ask yourself. He climbs up on
something —your curtains or the closetdoor
or the bookcase. You're sure he's climbed up
the stairs.

You step back onto the staircase leading up
the statue to the crown.
The iron stairs curve around the statue's
steel skeleton. The skeleton is very impor-
tant — it keeps the statue completely steady in
windy New York Harbor. Thousands of iron
ribs branch away from the skeleton. These

ribs hold up the three hundred pieces of Miss

Liberty's copper skin. The ribs have to be very

—
strong that copper skin weighs two hundred
thousand pounds!
But right now all those iron ribs will make it
that much harder to catch Charley, you real-
ize. They'll give him hundreds of places to

climb!

You wait until he turns away. Then you
grab the ladder and start climbing up!
"Stop!" The ranger has seen you!
But that justmakes you climb faster.
It's forty-two feet up the arm to the torch.

You don't want to look down. So you look at

the copper skin so close to you now. It's fas-
tened to the iron ribs with rivets —three hun-
dred thousand of them!
You climb higher. Over the years rain had
dripped down the arm from leaks in the torch.
The water weakened the arm.
Both the torch and the arm have been re-
paired. But before it was fixed, the statue's
arm swayed back and forth!
Now the arm seems steady enough. But
you can hear the ranger. His feet are clanging
up the ladder below you!

But he just jumps to a higher rib of the statue.

You remember the walnuts in your back-
pack. All you have to do is get the pack off
while you're standing thirty feet up a ladder!
You hold on to the ladder with your right
hand. You slip the pack off your left arm. Now
the pack is dangling from your right shoulder.
You let it slide down your arm toward your
hand. But when you try to grab it, your feet
slip off the ladder!

heats up Miss Liberty's copper skin. And the
higher you climb, you realize, the warmer it
will get. Charley hates to be hot. He's proba-

bly headed downstairs, where it's cooler.

One set of stairs goes up, the other down.
You cross the platform to the down staircase.
"What'll I tell Heather?" Sandra asks.
"Try not to tell her anything," you answer.
The stairs are narrow —everyone must
walk single file. And there are lots of people
ahead of you. About three hundred visitors
climb up and down the stairs every hour. But
you finally reach the bottom of the statue. And
you've seen no squirrel on the way.
 You want to walk down the stairs in the 27
pedestal too. But you happen to glance at the
crowd getting on the elevator.
That little girl in the red dress —doesn't she
have something gray on her shoulder?

 You'll look in the museum first. It could be a 29
good place for Charley to hide.
The museum is in the pedestal. There are
lots of costumes worn by immigrants people —
who left their own countries to live in the
United States. There are also slide shows
about immigration, and about the Statue of
Liberty too. On the wall of the museum is a
poem about the statue welcoming immigrants
to the new land.
The museum is cool, and it has some dark
corners. Charley may be asleep in here some-
where, you think.
You're feeling kind of sleepy yourself.
You're pretty worn out from all your racing
around. You sink down on a bench for a sec-
ond. Your eyes close. . . .

Suddenly you hear strange noises: boat

whistles and bands playing and people cheer-
ing! You run outside. It's no longer a sunny
day. A light rain is falling. Fog is rolling off the
water. You're cold in your summer clothes.

Turn to page 41.

30

You decide your flying squirrel will head

straight up to the crown —
just as though the
statue were a giant tree. But that means your
counselor may be a problem. How are you
going to catch Charley without Heather
seeing you do it?
The stairs curve past the inside of the
statue's face now. Miss Liberty's mouth is
three feet wide. Her nose is four and a half
feet long. Each eye is two and a half feet wide.
This is one big person! But you don't see
Charley anywhere.
 At last you and Sandra climb up on the
platform in the crown. Heather is here with
the other day campers.
"Have you seen ..." Sandra blurts out.
But you shush her. ". the Brooklyn

Bridge?" you finish the question. "Can you

see it from here?"
You step close to one of the twenty-five
windows in the crown. You're almost three
hundred feet above New York Harbor!

Turn to page 47.

32 Charley squeaks and tries to nip you. But
you grab him around the stomach with your
other hand. Then you blink in the bright sun-
light. You're outside!
You're kneeling on a tiny balcony not much
bigger than yourbed at home —only it's al-

most three hundred feet in the air!

Charley chirps at a gull flying past. Hanging

on tight, you peek over the low railing.
"ULP! " You're looking down at Miss Liberty's
crown!

Turn to page 43.

 So Bartholdi, the sculptor of the statue, 33
sent the arm with the torch to the United
States. That was in 1876. He hoped itwould
bring in money — and interest the American
people in raising more.
The arm was shown at a fair in Phila-
delphia. For fifty cents visitors could climb the
steel ladder to the torch.
Nine million people climbed to the balcony
in Philadelphia —
and even more when the
arm was shipped to New York. That raised
enough money to build a base for the statue
to stand on. The arm sailed back to France in
1884 to rejoin the statue.

feeling that's exactly where Charley went!
Suddenly a man in brown climbs down the
ladder. "Is there a problem?" he asks you.
Should you talk to him about Charley?
"Tell him," Sandra whispers. "Maybe he
saw something up there!"
But if you tell the ranger, you'll probably get
into lots of trouble — with him and with
Heather. And he won't let you climb up to
look for Charley.
On the other hand that skinny ladder looks
sort of scary. Maybe you don't want to climb it
yourself. It would be a long way to fall. . . .

she was headed toward the ferry. She has to
be on the boat.
Already breathless, you sprint down the
wharf. You stare up at the ferry. You think you
see a spot of red on the upper deck that—
must be her!
 You leap onto the boat. You run up the 39
stairs to the upper deck. But the spot of red is a
thin man in a Hawaiian shirt!

You look down at the wharf. There's the

little girl! On her shoulder is—a gray teddy

bear!

dock now. You're leaving behind Liberty Is-

You can't hear what he's saying.
"Who is that?" you ask someone standing
next to you.
"Why, that's William Evarts, head of the
Statue of Liberty Committee,' he answers.
"And that large person standing next to him is
our president, Grover Cleveland."
President Cleveland? 'What's going on
here?" you ask.
The Statue of Liberty is being presented to
the people of the United States," the man
explains.
But didn't Heather say that was back in
1886? You look up at the statue. Her face is
covered with a huge blue, white, and red flag.

"Bartholdi himself, the sculptor, is up in the

torch. That's the French flag," your neighbor
says.

 Maybe bringing a squirrel to the statue 43
wasn't a good idea, you tell yourself. Charley
thinks this is a great adventure. But you're not
sure you like being perched on the Statue of
Liberty's torch!
You're going to be in big trouble with the
ranger. There's only one good thing: Heather
doesn't know.
You take a last look over the railing at the
crown. And there, in the middle of one of the
twenty-five windows, is Heather's angry
face — glaring up at you!

The End
 Now you're hanging onto the ladder with 45
your left hand. Your pack is dangling from the
other. You'll drop the pack. But you cant
drop it! Charley has jumped to a lower rib. He
hops onto the dangling pack! Then he crawls
back inside it!
"Perfect timing!" you tell the squirrel.
Your hand is slipping off the ladder. . . .

Suddenly the ranger grabs one of your legs.

Take it easy,' he says. "I've got you.' He
pulls one foot back onto a rung of the ladder.
Then he puts your other foot on the ladder
too. "Okay?" he asks.
You nod, too weak to say anything. Slowly
you climb down the ladder. You're safe. And
you've got Charley back. But your troubles
aren't over. Heather is waiting at the bottom of
the ladder.
"When your parents hear about this you'll
be grounded for months!" she scolds.
"Grounded?" you say. "Sounds good to
me. " You never want to be up in the air again!

The End
46 But Charley is doing what flying squirrels
do best. To him the Statue of Liberty was just
an extra-tall tree. He climbed to the top . . .

and flew! His front and back legs are stretched

out. The folds of skin between them are
pulled tight. He's soaring through the air like a
Frisbee!
Using his tail to steer, Charley sails away
from the statue. As you watch he sinks lower
and lower. Now he's just a tiny gray speck.
You peer down at him through the window in
the crown. You see Charley land safely at the
tip of Liberty Island!
"Whew!" you say. "He's okay!"
But from the look in your counselor's eye
you have a feeling you re not!

The End
 You pretend be interested in the view
to 47
from the statue's crown. But you're really too
upset about Charley. Are you ever going to
find him? you ask yourself.
Suddenly Sandra says, "What kind of
weird bird is that?"
A small gray shape floats past the windows
from above. You watch it rise and fall on the
breeze. It has a funny tail for a bird round —
and kind of fuzzy. . . .

He must have climbed up the arm after
all —and jumped off the torch! Is this the
end of your flying squirrel? And it's all

your fault for bringing him!

Turn to page 46.

50 You'll go straight to the balcony. If Charley's
up there, he can get into big trouble. What if
he jumps?
Once again you run up the stairs to the base
of the pedestal. You take the elevator up.
Then you walk out onto the stone balcony. A
few people are looking at ships in the harbor.
But you don't see Charley.
The balcony is on all four sides of the ped-
estal. You start to walk around You've just

your name. You spin around!
"Lost something?" your counselor says.
Heather is holding one arm stiffly in front of
her.Held tightly by the scruff of the neck is

your flying squirrel!

And you're not sure who looks angrier
Heather or Charley!

The End
52 As you watch, the flag falls away from the
statue's face! People cheer, cannons boom,
ships in the Harbor blow their whistles over
and over!
"Now the President will speak," your
neighbor tells you.
The crowd moves forward. Someone
presses against your shoulder . . . presses
again. . . .

"It's Charley!" a voice says.

"Charley?" you mumble.
—
"Charley your flying squirrel! Heather
found him!"
You open your eyes. You're back in the
museum, with Sandra poking your shoulder.
So it was all a dream . . . wasn't it?

look for Charley, turn to page 18. If you decide to look
downstairs first, turn to page 26. But hurry! The statue
is huge, and who knows what trouble he'll fly into!

Anything can happen when a flying squirrel gets lost in

the Statue of Liberty. You might find Charley three
hundred feet in the air on the top of Miss Liberty's torch,
or someone else might find Charley in his hat! It all
depends on the choices you make. Some of your
adventures will be scary, some will be exciting, but all ol
them will be fun!
