Publisher's Summary:

Right before the start of her freshman year, Emma's family unexpectedly moves to England. The book club is stunned, but thanks to videoconferencing, they can keep the club alive. They decide to tackle Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, a particularly fitting choice.

In England, Emma deals with a new queen bee, Annabelle, who makes her life miserable. And back home, Annabelle's cousins - who have swapped homes with the Hawthornes - whip the rest of the school into a frenzy. Cassidy clashes with moody Tristan, Concord's own version of Mr. Darcy, and everyone is taken with his younger brother, Simon. Desperate for life to get back to normal, the girls throw a bake sale to raise money and bring Emma home - and suddenly they have a thriving business, Pies & Prejudice. But when the plan they cook up falls short, will the book club ever all be together again?

Wonderful book in a great series

My 11yo daughter told a friend that these books are better than Harry Potter! High praise. Great story and good values.

This Is a Wonderful Series!

I discovered this series of books at the library." Dear Pen Pal" was the first one that I read (it's actually third in the series), and I was hooked! I could hardly wait to read the others, because references were made about events from the first two books in "Pen Pal". I've now read all five, including "Home for the Holidays". This is a great series of books, especially for this day and time. There are no instances of smoking, drinking, or sex. The characters have crushes, and an occasional kiss, but that's as far as it goes.(Very unusual for recently written books!) The characters are modern teenagers who all have endearing as well as annoying qualities. Their personalities and interests are varied, but they are still friends and share the common bond of being in the book club with their moms. I especially liked how the moms and grandmoms that were in the club were involved with and cared about all of the girls, not just their own offspring.

I think this series would appeal to readers of the Baby-Sitter Club books. Girls who have enjoyed those books but are ready for a more challenging reading level would find "The Mother-Daughter Book Club" to be very interesting and easy to relate to, in my opinion. Hopefully, girls will be also be inspired to read or re-read books by Alcott, Austen, Montgomery and Lovelace, and perhaps even begin their own clubs. Thanks to Ms.
