Friday, November 1, 2024 - In this week’s First Chapter Friday video the word nerd Amanda Zieba reads aloud chapter 1 of The Mother Daughter Book Club by Acclaimed author Heather Vogel Frederick. This engaging series is perfect for middle school girls seeking relatable stories filled with friendship, family dynamics, and the joy of reading. Make sure you stay through the whole video so you can discover the mystery quote hidden throughout… one word at a time, like a literary treasure hunt.
Blurb: The book club is about to get a makeover… 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, the new book club is scheduled to meet every month. 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 Wellie boots in drama. They can't help but wonder: What would Jo March do?
