Ally Motbey has always let her bossy bestie Cat call the shots in their friendship. And now that they're in high school, it looks like Cat will continue to get her way. What will she do?
1. Ally's invited to join an advanced Latin class. Ally loves Latin, almost as much as she likes her new classmate, the smart and gorgeous James. But will Ally be able to keep up with the older kids, or will she embarrass herself in front of James? And how will Cat react to Ally doing her own thing?
2. There are auditions for the school musical and Cat is determined they will both audition. But not only is Ally tone deaf, it would also mean spending time with her old crush Tony - and she hasn't forgiven him for what happened last year. Can Ally face the music?
Readers follow their heart right to the end, and then can go back and choose all over again. There are as many as eight different stories to be followed in each book!
The Choose Your Own Ever After books are for girls moving on from basic chapter books. Girls who are after more emotional substance and can handle more complicated plots. Real girls. And there's more to them than just boys or crushes (although that's a big part. This is realistic fiction after all). There are friends (remember our theme?) and family and choosing your own path. There's taking responsibility for your own choices and for your own actions, there's becoming your own person. Being who you want to be.They're timeless. They're fun. And with so many stories in each book, they're a real value.
