Interpretation In Favor Of Books The Mother-Daughter Book Club (The Mother-Daughter Book Club #1)
The book clubis about to get
a makeover....
Even if Megan would rather be at the mall, Cassidy is late for hockey practice, Emma's already read every book in existence, and Jess is missing her mother too much to care, the new book club is scheduled to meet every month.
But what begins as a mom-imposed ritual of reading Little Women soon helps four unlikely friends navigate the drama of middle school. From stolen journals, to secret crushes, to a fashion-fiasco first dance, the girls are up to their Wellie boots in drama. They can't help but wonder: What would Jo March do?
Acclaimed author Heather Vogel Frederick will delight daughters of all ages in a novel about the fabulousness of fiction, family, and friendship.

Reviewed by Michaela Pallante aka "Mickey" for TeensReadToo.comMegan, Cassidy, Emma, and Jess are as different as four preteen girls can be. Yet, their mothers are friends and have invented a mother-daughter book club to spend more "quality time" with the girls. The book that they have chosen- LITTLE WOMEN by Louisa May Alcott. Emma, whose mother was the brains behind the book club, has already read this book and many others. As an aspiring writer she reads any book she can get her hands on. It
The first book in what is possibly my granddaughter's favorite series. A welcome entry in an increasingly hard to find genre: Cheerful, realistic fiction appealing to girls 8-13. This one is fun, with lots of literary (Little Women) references. I had trouble distinguishing the four girls' voices sometimes, but that's a minor quibble. I did think a few elements were a little predictable (Spoiler alert: Megan's turnaround) but they lead to a satisfying conclusion that kids will relish. A wholesome
this book is adorable and if a 200-page book about twelve-year-olds navigating friendships and reading Little Women with their moms doesn't sound like something you want to read right away, I simply don't know what to say to you.also there are a lot of mentions of cookies, and that's something I'll always love.basically this book was short (needed) and nostalgia-inducing (lovely) and filled with Little Women references (one of two books I've five-starred so far this year). it was, for me in this
I CANNOT recommend this book. The concept is so great -- mother-daughter book club! What could be better?! My 11 year old daughter and I took it on with gusto. We even bought four in the series! Ugh.About 15 minutes in I had the full picture. Okay, I know, it's written for preteens, so no wonder that as the mother I could predict it all. But still... The book was uber-disappointing. Lots of ugly bullying. In some books, this can be done well and provide a lesson for girls. In this case, the
Great book! Would recommend for 11-13 year-old girls. But any age or gender could like it!!!
EDITED TO ADD IN JANUARY 2020: I am in the process of revisiting those instalments of Heather Vogel Frederick's Mother-Daughter Book Club series which I have already read, as for one, I want to finally finish the series (reading the books I have not yet tackled and are languishing on my to-read pile and on my Kindle) and for two, I also want to check and verify whether my original star rankings are holding up to my rereads, if they are too high, too low or just about right. And indeed, after now
