The Mother-Daughter Book Club

By Heather Vogel Frederick

Four girls navigate friends, family, and fiction in this first book in the acclaimed Mother-Daughter Book Club middle grade series--now with a fresh, cozy new look

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, their new book club is supposed to meet every month. After all, "books are always good company if you have the right sort," according to Jo March.

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 Wellies in drama. They can't help but wonder: What would Jo March do?
