Bookroo's summary

Eighth grade brings upheaval for the mother-daughter book club. Jess faces a life-changing scholarship decision, Megan's household is turned upside down by her grandmother, Emma battles school uniforms, and Cassidy's family faces big changes. As they read 'Daddy-Long-Legs' and become pen pals with a Wyoming book club, the girls navigate pranks, a secret puppy, and a surprise first kiss. Will their bond withstand the challenges ahead?

From the publisher

For the mother-daughter book club, everything changes in eighth grade. Could the book club break up? When Jess is offered an anonymous scholarship to a prestigious boarding school, she’s not sure that leaving home – and her friends – is what she wants to do. Meanwhile Megan’s grandmother comes for a long visit and turns everything in the Wong household upside down; Emma crusades against her middle school’s new uniforms; and Cassidy fi nds out there’s a big change ahead for her family. Inspired by Jess’s unexpected opportunity, the book club decides to read Jean Webster’s classic Daddy-Long-Legs, and there’s an added twist this year when they become pen pals with the girls in a book club in Wyoming. There’s plenty to write to their new friends about, from a prank-filled slumber party to a not-so-secret puppy – and even a surprise fi rst kiss. In this third book in the beloved Mother-Daughter Book Club series, the girls learn that as long as they have one another – and a good book – they’re ready for whatever eighth grade has in store!
