Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Multiple endings refer to a case in entertainment (usually video games) where the story could end in different ways, described as an alternate ending. Since multiple endings usually require audience participation, books are able to capture the concept better than movies or television. However, for the sake of telling a story, this device is rarely used. The best examples are the popular 1980s children's Choose Your Own Adventure series and Heather McElhatton's bestselling novels Pretty Little Mistakes and Million Little Mistakes. In both books the protagonist is "you," the reader and you're given choices that lead to multiple outcomes. The Charles Dickens 1860 novel Great Expectations underwent a change in ending just before publication. Modern editions often print both versions. (However, this situation is more akin to an alternate ending.) However, perhaps the first true multiple-ending novel was Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar in 1963.
