this book is adorable and if a 200-page book about twelve-year-olds navigating friendships and reading Little Women with their moms doesn't sound like something you want to read right away, I simply don't know what to say to you.

also there are a lot of mentions of cookies, and that's something I'll always love.

The overall concept of this book really appealed to me, and I approached it with the highest expectations. I loved the Concord setting and the fun facts related to LMA and Little Women. Unfortunately, there were too many issues that kept me from enjoying it. On a minor note, it was hard to follow and I had to frequently flip back to see whose voice I was reading.

On a minor note, it was hard to follow and I had to frequently flip back to see whose voice I was reading. Not a big deal, but I’m glad I didn’t read it on my Nook.

I didn’t find the book to be at all believable. The girls, especially Emma, felt older than 6th graders, and none of the dialog among the mothers sounded the least bit plausible. The penultimate chapter in NYC, where the characters all fall into once-in-a-lifetime kinds of opportunities was so over-the-top, just completely preposterous. Maybe this would play better with the intended audience--girls in the 9 to 12 year age range--but I’m skeptical.

Mostly, though, two things about this book really bugged me. One was the depiction of Mrs Wong—the vegetarian environmentalist and feminist. Such a ridiculous, shallow, dated stereotype, right down to the hard-as-rock vegan cookies, the carrot crunchies (give me a break) and the request for “tofu dogs.” It read like something from 1992; I actually flipped back to the copyright to see if the book had in fact been written in the 1990s.

I have no problem with poking fun at vegetarians and tree huggers. But I don’t like books written for young girls that play up stereotypes—especially in ways that seem dismissive of what most people would (hopefully) consider to be admirable values. (I would have been just as annoyed had the stereotype focused on conservative Christians, or librarians, or some other group to which I don’t belong.) And it’s bothersome that the only character in the book who is presented as a silly ninny is the one who cares about the environment, social justice, and women’s issues.

But the truly egregious thing about this book was the constant reference to the size of Mrs. Chadwick’s butt, and how all the girls and their moms laughed at it. Really? A book written for young girls--the most fragile people on earth when it comes to issues regarding body image and self-esteem--that laughs at fat people? For that reason alone, I would not recommend this book.

I have been trying to find books to suggest to my 6th grade daughter. Apparently all of her friends are now reading Twilight, Hunger Games, and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

I was expecting the book to be more about the book club meetings than it actually was, but I still enjoyed what it ended up being. ;) Also, you don’t have to be a Little Women expert to enjoy it. I’ve only seen the movie, and I loved guessing which March sister each character paralleled. (Once I figured it out, it was really cool to see that the plot had a few Easter eggs.) ;)

Megan, Cassidy, Emma, and Jess are as different as four preteen girls can be. Yet, their mothers are friends and have invented a mother-daughter book club to spend more "quality time" with the girls. The book that they have chosen- LITTLE WOMEN by Louisa May Alcott.

Emma, whose mother was the brains behind the book club, has already read this book and many others. As an aspiring writer she reads any book she can get her hands on. It also helps that her mother just happens to be a librarian.

The book club is the last place that Megan wants to be. She would rather be at the mall with her friends, taking notes for outfits she would like to design one day. Her mother, on the other hand, has great dreams in mind for Megan. Dreams that involve science and math camp and Harvard. Megan hates that.

Cassidy would rather be out playing hockey then spending time in a book club. She is proud of her tomboy status but her mother, an ex-model, is less than thrilled. Cassidy knows that this book club is just another way to try to make her more girly and she hates it.

Jess is best friends with Emma and has fun with her in the book club. The only problem is that her own mother has temporarily moved to New York to be a soap opera star. This means that Jess usually has to go to these book club meetings alone -- or worse, with her dad.

At the beginning of this book none of the girls are into the book club and would all rather be doing something else. However, with a little help from Louisa May Alcott and a few other interesting events, the girls really come to love it.

This book was really, really good. The characters are easy to relate to and the storyline is amazing. This book did leave me a bit teary-eyed, but it was a good teary-eyed. Pick up a copy of THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER BOOK CLUB and start reading it right away; you won't be able to put it down. While you're at it, pick up a copy of LITTLE WOMEN, too. There are some fun questions at the end of this book that go along with it and that book is also amazing. ...more

Lots of ugly bullying. In some books, this can be done well and provide a lesson for girls. In this case, the bullying was met with "the book club" basically ganging up back, including the mothers against the bully's mother! MISSED OPPORTUNITY -- how to deal with a bully effectively and gracefully, and spread positivity in the world! Ugh!

The mothers were brutal. My daughter and I had lots of conversation about them. I/we couldn't relate AT ALL to them. They were all basically snobby, rich women, saying things, doing things that were just non-relatable in every way. For instance, there's a scene where all the mothers convince the 11 year old girls to dress up in 1800s clothing and have a party -- and the moms did too! There isn't any way that would happen in our lives. Even if I could convince my friends to get their daughters to (which would be virtually impossible), in reality, would all the mothers as well!? And then yip around in glee, hugging and jumping on the spot? Really?? And there is a weekend in NYC that must have cost THOUSANDS of dollars, thousands and thousands... this is just not a book that relates to our lives...

These kind of gaps made the book difficult to read and relate to, which is too bad for what was meant to be a book of conversation between my daughter and I. I mean, I guess it got us talking, but it didn't enrich us, and I even worry that it was a bad influence on her.

Even worse, there was a ton of talk about:
- "her round tummy"
- "her ample behind" (TONS of talk about this)
- shopping, nails, fashion, modelling
- a dumpy, silly dad
- drama of every variety, from crying in bathroom stalls to shrinking away from boys who notice fashion and beauty (at at grade 6 dance?!)

I know some girls are into fashion and beauty -- mine is for sure, to some degree -- but I wanted this book to give a better balance. Less high-maintenance girly stuff (with your token nerd, sporty girl, fashionista, all white, with one token Chinese) and more deeper quality issues.

My daughter and I both agree that we won't be going forward with other books in the series. So disappointing! ...more

I like the concept of the series, and the book was enjoyable, but there were several times when I felt that the voice of the various pre-teens just did not ring quite true. They did, in fact, read too much like an adult writing what was happening, rather than a teen's thinking or speaking. I know that, for instance, the character Emma, being a bright girl and a big reader, would speak with a larger vocabulary than many 12-year-olds, but the particular word selections & turns of phrase just ...more

I don't particularly like giving half ratings - but it does describe my feelings for this book. I came really close to liking it . . . but it ended up being more "okay."

It was clever how the authoress paralleled this story to Little Women and it definitely stirred up a lot of nostalgia for one of my favorite books. It also gave me a great desire to visit Concord - what a fascinating place!

I did find the girl's behavior absurd and considering how young they were. I had forgotten how old you are in sixth grade and had assumed they were 14 or 15 (that was how old they were acting) but when I found out midway they were 11, my jaw landed in my lap. Infatuation with boys, out-of-control emotions, cell phones and fixation on whether or not they're wearing the right clothes or not. That age had me stumbling.

The girl's characters were okay. I did feel that Megan's "change" happened way to fast and never really made sense. I also felt like her and Emma were never fully resolved.

I think I liked Jess the best. The scenes where she talks to the TV after school to connect with her actress mother were incredibly poignant - and these scenes were so sadly real that they ended up being my favorite part. While I felt bad for her - somehow I felt that the end of her story was somehow a little too perfect. There wasn't enough foreshadowing for her mother to return - since we'd seen her be nothing but selfish throughout the whole book.

The mom characters were all kind of caricatures and rather silly. I was also disgusted with how one of the mom's dealt with her daughters bullying. If that had been MY daughter - let's just say it wouldn't have been pretty and I wouldn't have been fighting with words - no sir.

CONTENT: Some crudity here and there. Dysfunctional families and it also contains the "typical" relationships familial relationships. Parents and kids that can barely stand each other and have to bribe each other to get them to do something. Siblings that are annoyed by each other and like their friends more than they do their siblings. There's a few scenes that are definitely waving the feminist flag. Eleven year old girls are boy crazy and staring at boys in minor detail.

Basically, a fluffy soap opera for middle graders - but it wasn't a bad writing style and it was a really cute idea. Cute enough, that I'll probably pick up the next book in the series someday. ...more

It passes back and forth through four narrators. But they all have the same narrative voice which is confusing. The characters are very stereotypical. Also, the last section (summer) is sensational and wholly doesn't match the rest of the book. It is far reaching and completely lost me. The other writing point that bothered me was the way the author struggled to interject the historical connections into the story. For the most part they start with the same mother always saying "you know girls the Alcott's did x, y, and z." Subtlety is completely unknown in this book.

What bothered me most and why I won't be suggesting it to my daughter is because of the heroines in the story continually acting out the same mean girl behavior they are the victims of. The author seems hyper sensitive about weight because it is a criticism of the main villain (repeatedly and inappropriately) and even one of the main narrators. These two characters scarcely get referred to without their weight being part of the description. The girl who is pudgy also happens to be the one who has the best mother daughter relationship. Almost as if to say: you can be close to your family or you can be pretty but not both. There is one non-white dyad in the book. Unfortunately they are portrayed as the stereotypical tiger mother, daughter duo. On the whole I found very little of value in this book. I hate when authors feel that poor writing = younger audience. I also hate when they feel that girls need to continue to be marginalized the way they have been in other novels. I hope some author tries a concept like this again with more depth, better writing, and stronger mothers. The mothers in this book are just mean girls grown up who aren't open to accepting their daughters. ...more

What I love most of all is that these girls are actually totally different from each other. There isn't the nerd who actually loves fashion, or the popular girl who likes video games vibe. Each girl is as they claim to be. (Nothing wrong with that, you just come to expect the "twist" after a while). There's no secret society in their motives.

The girls go through normal middle school stress and issues such as ; snooty Becca Chadwick, fights and having to choose groups , boy crushes and mom drama ! 😅

The things that really got me most and sometimes made me not like reading the book is things such as : there trip to New York City 🌃 and the disaster Beauty and the Beast play .
Sure holidays and plays are both normal , regular things , but the way in which these events unfold is very hard to believe and exaggerated.
No one , not even the Chadwick girl , would have the wits and audacity to ruin the play just to spite one person .
Now for the New York trip . Everybody surprises there kids with fun things even holidays but no one would spend that much money or manage to do what they did ! Some how on there return Megan is a fashion designer, Emma has her name in the credits of at TV show and Cassidy has a signed baseball ⚾️??!!! I am sorry but it is just not believable.

But some how even though this little things really got in my way towards the end of the story , there is , no actually ALWAYS is something about the way in which Heather Vogel Frederick writes that I just never want to put any of her books down ! She develop’s amazing characters and scenes and always seems to no what the reader wants !! She is definitely one of my favourite authors and a very inspirational writer to a young girl like me ! ❤️❤️😘😘😝😝👍👍👍

In conclusion I feel that the book was wonderful, lovely and extremely touching, but the author , in my opinion, made one mistake only : she droned on and focused on the things that didn’t mater and didn’t spend enough time on the parts of the book that where really important.

All in all I really loved this book and can’t wait to read The next book in the series and hope it is just as happy and feel-good as this one was !! 😘😘😘

Quotes from The Mother-Daught...

“I love science, and the way it names and orders and classifies everything, from clouds to plants to stars. Even bones. Tibia, fibula, scapula, patella. Science makes everything so official-sounding, and so tidy. Unlike real life, which is often a mess.” — 5 likes

“But no, it’s yoga pants and T-shirts with slogans like “Save the Rain Forest” on them, made only of natural fibers of course.” — 1 likes
