You decide how the story goes in the Choose Your Own Ever After series.
The fun starts with How To Get To Rio. Follow your heart right to the end, and then go back and choose all over again.
Schoolgirl Kitty McLean has to choose between going camping with her best friends or going to an exclusive beach resort with popular-girl Persephone. She wants to spend the holidays with her besties but she also wants to get to know Persephone better. The beach holiday has an added attraction – a cute guy called Rio, is going to be there!
The inspiration: The story was inspired by a family trip to Carnarvon Gorge in central Queensland. We went with two other families, so that meant a pile of kids, endless games of capture the flag, lots of slime fights, and loads and loads of fun. You can read all about it here.The virtual book tour: To celebrate the release of How To Get To Rio I’m heading off on a virtual tour.
