Snare Your Crush in Three Easy Steps

Snare Your Crush in Three Easy Steps

BY

Emma Carlson Berne

From boy trouble to BFF drama, every choice you make could turn middle school into your best years ever . . . or a total disaster. YOU decide what happens next! Packed with 19 possible endings!

YOU and your best friend Elise are busy making cupcakes for the upcoming school dance when she drops some earth-shattering news. Elise has a crush on James—the very same James that you happen to have a crush on—and is planning to ask him out at the dance. And did anyone mention that the dance is tonight?! Like any other middle school kid, choosing what to do next is nearly impossible. Do you help your friend? Or should you see if James is your one true love?

A story of courage, friendship, and young love, YOU might end up snaring way more than your crush. You might just find yourself instead.

With all the humor and heartache of a typical middle school drama, mixed with the tough choices that only a Choose Your Own Adventure book can offer, this page-turner will keep readers coming back again and again until they’ve found the ending that feels just right.

    Sheldon Frank

  • “Was looking for books that would help my 6 year old son be more interested in reading. This was a book that kept his attention because of the way he could choose different paths to the story ending. Great for a 1st grader.”

    Samson B

  • “I remember being blown away by the concept of a book told in the 2nd-person. I cannot wait to introduce my own kids to these wonderful books.”

    RK

  • “What’s fun about these books is that the reader actually becomes the story’s central character, so you get to make decisions and create an adventure. You end up reading one story in many different ways.”
