April Parent Child Book Club Books

We have another great set of books to talk about in our Parent/Child Book Clubs! For the Mother/Daughter Book Club we are going to talk about the book The Mother-Daughter Book Club by Heather Vogel Frederick. For the Mother/Son Book Club we are going to talk about the book Soar by Joan Bauer.



I can’t help but giggle at the title of the next Mother/Daughter Book Club book. I mean, if we have a Mother/Daughter Book Club how can we not read and discuss the book The Mother-Daughter Book Club?!? This book is about a group of moms and their daughters who get together to talk about the book Little Women. The girls don’t think they really have all that much in common—but though this book club they find out that they just might have a few similarities. Of course there is drama and books and relationship craziness; however, there is also a lot to learn when girls and their moms get together to talk about books and how they relate to life. I am pretty excited that we get to talk about this book next!



The boys and their grownups are going to discuss the book Soar by Joan Bauer. Jeremiah has just received a heart transplant—which is hard enough. However, Jeremiah loves baseball—and now he can’t play because of his recent surgery. When Jeremiah and his dad move to a new town Jeremiah decides he will do the next best thing (besides playing on a baseball team), he will become a baseball coach. Only, with a town that has had a scandal and is ready to give up on baseball, this is harder than it sounds. From surgery to being a new kid to baseball and sports there will be plenty to talk about at the next Mother/Son Book Club!

Review: Last One Picked

  Last One Picked By Audrey Meeker New York: Feiwel & Friends, 2026. Comic.  Annabeth has never been very athletic, but that doesn't matter. She is perfectly content to spend her time with her Warrior Princess books and volunteering at the library. When summer comes, her mom is convinced by their stuck up neighbor to send Annabeth to volleyball camp, the last place she would ever want to be. Not only does she feel completely out of her depth, her ex-best friend, Serena, is there- and she is not happy that Annabeth is infringing on her domain. However, with the help of some encouraging coaches and teammates, Annabeth slowly starts to realize that she doesn't mind volleyball so much, and might even have a place on the team after all. This graphic novel will hit home for many tweens, especially as it deals with several relevant topics, such as body image, gaining confidence, and how we should treat others. The illustrations were bright and colorful, and the story itself ...
