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.

Yael Lewis is dreading her bat mitzvah. Her loving but clueless mother insists on throwing an epic birthday extravaganza, even though Yael hates the spotlight.

Despite herself, Yael is excited when her crush Cam accepts the invitation. But then she meets Gabriel, the emcee’s son, whose chill attitude makes her rethink the party plans. Thank goodness her old friend Eli will be there to keep her steady, even though he’s returned from camping a little bit different. Will Yael’s party be the best…or a bust?

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

Tamsin Lane grew up hiding her mother’s jewelry in the backyard so she could draw maps to the buried treasure. As a cruise ship captain, she draws on maps every day, charting courses through stormy seas to beautiful islands. No matter what route she takes, her favorite is always the one that leads back home.

"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."
