4-6Mother-Daughter Book Club series.
Jess, Emma, Cassidy, and Megan find their eighth-grade year filled with issues including boarding school, boys, dress codes, and family changes. They read Jean Webster's Daddy-Long-Legs and write to a pen pal, while their book club expands and they take a group vacation. Though the story is packed with too many subplots, the girls' alternating narration keeps things moving.
