There’s a funny tone in her voice and she’s smiling across the table at my dad. I guess you’ll have to read it and find out, won’t you? my mother replies. What’s this? I ask, picking up the letter that’s lying in the middle of my plate and scooching my chair closer to the table. When you get accustomed to people or places or ways of living, and then have them suddenly snatched away, it does leave an awfully empty, gnawing sort of sensation.

I will put it on my shelves but I can think off hand of only three students that would maybe enjoy this book. They idea flowing throughout this book was that as long as you had a group of good friends and a good book then everything would work out. I fight to get them to read 10 – 30 minutes each day and for a large number of them they choose books that deal with issues they face, gangs, teen pregnancy, etc. This is where I knew I would lose my students. Amidst all of the situations the girls decide to become pen-pals with another book club in Wyoming. Not all of them were pleasant or easy to handle. Just like my eighth graders there were new changes for them to face. The four main characters Megan, Jess, Cassidy and Emma are starting eighth grade. I will tell you up front that it was a “cute” book but not one I really enjoyed. 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 first kiss.This is the third book in the Mother-Daughter Book Club Series. 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. 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 finds out there's a big change ahead for her family. "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.
Dear Pen Pal is the third book in the Mother Daughter Book Club series, by Heather Vogel Frederick.
