REVIEW
It’s no secret that I loved the first book in The Mother Daughter Book Club series. You can read my review (with a perfect score to match) here. Now I will gush about how much I loved the next two books.
I enjoyed reading about Emma, Jess, Cassidy, and Megan during their seventh and eighth grade years at school. With the addition of stuck-up Becca, there is plenty of drama to go around.
Much Ado About Anne is based on the classic Anne of Green Gables. In this book, the girls are trying to save Jess’s family’s farm, Half Moon Farm. Emma grows in confidence, Jess worries about the farm, Cassidy struggles to accept her mom’s new boyfriend, and Megan designs new fashions while being pulled away by Becca. There is even a glamorous fashion show with beautiful outfits – hello Girlie Meter!
Dear Pen Pal is based on Daddy-Long-Legs. In this book, everything is a mess and everyone’s life seems to be in turmoil. I like how Frederick takes on real-life issues. The biggest change has to do with Jess, who is sent to off to a boarding school, and the girls realize just how strong their friendship is.
An additional cast of characters are introduced when the girls become pen pals with a book club in Wyoming. They have more in common than they ever expected.
What is in store for the book club next? I am reading Book 4, Pies and Prejudice, to find out!
