There are many ways this story can go. YOU decide what happens next. And if you don’t like how it ends? Just start again! The Yes No Maybe So series is an interactive reading experience about friendships, family, and all the feelings.

Every day before and after school, Tara Singh helps her parents at their Indian sweet shop, but the only business Tara is interested in is show business. When a local theater announces a casting call for The Wizard of Oz, Tara is determined to wear the ruby slippers.

As she prepares for the audition, Tara is distracted by some unexpected drama: There is Rohan, the delivery boy her parents hired. Hiro, her forever crush, who wants to rehearse with her. And Desmond, a shy theater nerd who has started lighting up her heart. Can Tara win the part and get the guy?

You have the power to choose what happens…and the chance to choose differently next time!

"The first two books in this series features stories of friends and family life. Each book allows you to choose which direction the plot will go. Tara Takes the Stage is about a young girl in love with acting who finds herself having feelings for two boys. Yael and the Party of the Year follows Yael as she struggles to decide if she wants the attention of an old crush or the new cool guy. These soft romances are perfect for readers aged 10 to 12 looking for an easy summer novel."
