Mother Daughter Book Club Series – Z's Review




 Books: Mother Daughter Book Club Series
Author: Heather Vogel Frederick
Recommended Age: About 9 or 10+
Rating: *****
Genre: Realistic Fiction



Reviews: Mother Daughter Book Club is an amazing book series which starts out with four middle school girls who's moms come together to start a book club for them and their daughters! The four girls have totally different personalities and barely have anything in common. For example Cassidy Sloane is a complete jock; she would rather watch baseball and play hockey than go to a book club, while Emma Hawthorne has read practically every book on earth and is a great writer. Megan Wong is the fashion designer; Megan would rather be sketching clothes or shopping at the mall than be reading, while Jessica Delaney (Jess) would rather be with her goat at her farm or would be playing with her dogs. Since these girls are so different, they had a shaky start but a few months later they became best friends!

The young members in the Mother Daughter Book Club grow up in each of the books. Like in the first book they start out in middle school with best friends and bullies but then in the last book they're in high school! Personally I think that this series is very hard to put down! I mean I couldn't stop reading after I started! 

 When you read these books you will realize the debacle and the blessings of life while the members of the Mother Daughter Book Club make and lose friends and enemies, create adventures, and dream big and achieve. 

 Each Mother Daughter Book Club book has notes and talks about another book which is usually a classic!



 
Mother Daughter Book Club(1) is about Jess, Cassidy, Megan, and Emma starting Middle school and going through changes of life while reading “Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott.
 Much Ado About Anne(2) is about taking new chances, going on adventures, and creating friends out of enemies. In Much Ado About Anne, the girls in the book club are reading “Anne of Green Gables” by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Dear Pen Pal(3)is about huge changes, friendships, and big opportunities. In Dear Pen Pal, the members of the Mother Daughter Book Club join other girls in a different country to meet new friends and read “Daddy Long Legs” by Jean Webster.
Pies and Prejudice(4) is about leaving friends, meeting new people, and helping others. In Pies and Prejudice the members of the Mother Daughter Book Club in Concord, MA,  plus Emma and her Mom who unexpectedly had to move to England read “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austin.          
Home for the Holidays(5 and my favorite book!)is about injuries, love, confusion, friendship, Humor, and tough choices and changes. In Home for the Holidays, no member's vacation goes truly as planned as they read the “Betsy-Tacy” series by Maud Hart Lovelace.
Wish You Were Eyre(6)is about fashion, visitors, friends, competitions, weddings, enemies,  teammates, and dreams come true. In Wish You Were Eyre, the members of the Mother Daughter Book club read “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë.
