![]() ![]() I highly recommend this whole series for members of mother-daughter book clubs with girls who are 9 to 13. I can’t wait to see what the whole gang will be up to in the fourth book of the series when the girls start high school. ![]() The book club members also connect with a pen pal club in Gopher Hole, Wyoming, and it’s fun to read little snippets about the lives of these new girls and their moms through their letters. The girls and moms learn fun facts about Jean Webster as they gather for book club discussions. The girls are reading Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster, and Frederick once again seamlessly weaves in storylines that somewhat match those of Webster’s classic. This time the challenges include dealing with a mean-spirited boarding school roommate, changing family dynamics when new family members move in and others move out, and navigating relationships with boys. In their ever-evolving lives, as it is with most of us, just when they figure out how to handle one challenge, another pops up. The girls are in eighth grade this year, and they’ve learned a lot about friendship and family relationships. ![]() Cracking this third book in the mother-daughter book club series is like reconnecting with old friends. Emma, Jess, Megan and Cassidy are back for another year of reading in their mother-daughter book club in Heather Vogel Frederick’s new book, Dear Pen Pal. ![]()
