The Mother-Daughter Book Club
by Heather Vogel Frederick Young Emma's mother is the middle school librarian who came up with the idea of the mother-daughter
book club. There are four members: Emma who wants to be a poet, Emaa's friend Jess who lives
on an organic farm, Cassidy who like to play hockey and whose mother used to be a model, and
Megan, who's very popular. Together they have picked "Little Women" as their first book.
Between the monthly meetings, there's a lot of drama in the lives of these girls. As they
navigate the social structure of the modern middle school with popularity problems, parents
and teachers, and of course, boys, they find they have a lot in common with the March girls
from Alcott's classic book. Together they find renewed bonds and great respect for their mothers.
