For months Kitty MacLean has been crushing on Rio Sanchez – who is probably the cutest boy in the world. But it looks like she might never get a chance to hang out with him until . . .

1) Kitty goes camping with her best friends like she promised them, and finds out Rio just happens to be staying not too far away. But should she meet up with him? Or is a grubby camping holiday not the best time to meet up with your mega crush?

OR

2) Kitty breaks her promise to go camping with her besties and goes to Paradise Point with popular-girl Persephone instead. The offer is sweetened with a promise they’ll definitely get to hang out with Rio. But would Kitty really ditch her friends to hang out with a cool girl? And will Rio even like Kitty?

Follow your heart right to the end, or go back and choose all over again!

Choose Your Own Ever After is a contemporary pick-a-path series for older tween girls, equally focused on all things happy-making and crush-worthy. Underpinning this series is the idea that a girl’s destiny is in her own hands. Situations and dilemmas will turn out differently depending on the choices she makes – occasionally predictable, but more often not! Either way, she has the power to follow her heart right to the end, or go back and choose all over again.

This series is perfect for girls moving on from basic chapter books, who are beginning to crave stories with emotional substance and can handle more complicated plots. Girls who have enjoyed the Chocolate Box Girls by Cathy Cassidy or the Girl V the World books will find a new favourite series with Choose Your Own Ever After.
