When it comes to netball, Edie Thomas is a natural. But she's only ever played for fun and to hang out with her netball-mad bestie Tess. But when she makes the state team, it looks like netball will be taking centre stage. Until...
1. Edie drops out of the team when she scores a lead role in Romeo and Juliet opposite her long-time crush, Freddy. But will the school play be all that Edie dreams it will be? And will Tess ever forgive her for dumping netball?
OR
2. Edie begins to resent netball taking over her entire life. Can a cute distraction, in the shape of footballer hottie Finn, rekindle her passion for sport or will she quit netball for good?

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.
