INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Frederick, Heather Vogel

The Mother-Daughter Book Club

(4) 4-6 Four sixth-grade girls and three of their mothers read Little Women for their book club. Reluctant at first, the girls manage to overcome their misgivings. The girls' voices are a bit stiff and stereotypical, and Frederick reaches too far for some of her Little Women parallels. But the concept is sweet and the Concord, Massachusetts, setting well drawn.
