Those who are home get to know the family who lives in their home for the year and Emma's family make new friends in England. There are the usual conflicts - but as is true to this series, once the girls get to know their adversaries better, they discover friends. We are also starting to see a bit of romance as the girls are older. There's a lovely trip to England in the end. ( ) Another installment of the Mother-Daughter Book Club which focuses on one of my least favorite authors ever, Jane Austen. This alone catapults the fourth installment into last place in my own personal ranking of the books. The girls have big adventures in Merry Olde England, complete with Mean Girls Across The Water. There is a Regency-themed ball. I'm glad it's time for the fifth installment, wherein the girls read my beloved Betsy-Tacy books. Reviewed by Jennifer Rummel for TeensReadToo.com The girls from the book club enter high school this year. Everything changes when Emma's family announces they're moving to England for the year. Using this news as a jumping-off point, the book club decides to read PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and keep in touch with Emma and her mother via video chats. Emma and her family switch houses with someone for the year. At first, she doesn't want to leave, but when she arrives in England, she learns to love it. However, she doesn't love the people. One boy follows her around all the time. He's a mini Mr. Collins and Emma can't stand him. She's also not fond of Annabelle, who makes her life miserable both in England and also back home. Unbeknownst to her, her friends start up a pie business to purchase a plane ticket so she can visit during school vacation. Jess can't believe her best friend and her crush are both deserting her this year. She's adjusted to life at boarding school since last year. Now, everyone's figuring out their future career, but Jess can't narrow down a choice. Not knowing what she wants to do with her life deeply disturbs her. Cassidy makes a girl's league hockey team, which means lots of practices and spending lots of time with her new stepfather. She also decides to create a hockey team for girls in the local area. Calling it Chicks with Sticks, her former teacher, Mrs. Bergson, helps her get the program started. But Mrs. Bergson calls in a favor of her own. Snooty Tristan, the boy living in Emma's house, is an ice dancer. He needs a training partner to continue his work towards an exclusive competition. Soon, Cassidy's trying out figure skating and doing her best to live up to his high expectations. Meghan starts up a fashion blog - complete with fashion don'ts. She writes the snarky insults in a Jane Austen-type tone. At first, the blog remains anonymous, but after a queen bee spills the beans, everyone is up in arms, including friends, teachers, and parents. As the group reads PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and learns all about Jane Austen, changes start occurring as the girls form crushes, hopes, and dreams - all while dealing with drama and friendship dilemmas. I love this charming series and hope the book club continues throughout high school. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
