Gregory, Kristiana. 2008. Bronte's Book Club.
Review by Becky Laney, frequent contributor
Bronte's Book Club is a fun title that is just right for the eight to ten crowd. Bronte Bella has just recently moved with her family from New Mexico to California. Wanting to use the move to her advantage, Bronte is determined to make a new start. Typically shy and hesitant in the friend department, she wants more than anything to make a few friends before school starts in the fall. She's nervous but brave. After a few days in her new house, she's inspired to start a book club. A club that will meet every Wednesday for the rest of the summer. She makes fliers and hangs them up around town. But what Bronte realizes is that the perfect book club doesn't just happen overnight. Friendships don't happen overnight either. The book Bronte chooses? Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell.
Books. Friendship. Summer adventures. And snacks. This is perfect light reading for young readers.
This sounds like a really cute, fun read. I'm glad to know of it. Thanks for your review!
