How to Get to Rio

In How to Get to Rio, for months Kitty MacLean has been crushing on Rio Sanchez from afar, but it looks like she might never get a chance to hang out with him until ... 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? You turn to page 41 if you think so. Or ... Kitty breaks her promise to go camping with her besties and goes to Paradise Point with popular-girl Persephone instead. But would Kitty really ditch her friends to hang out with a cool girl? Turn to page 80 and see. 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.
