From the author of the Judy Moody books, this exciting novel captures the warmth, humor, and squabbles of three spunky sisters.
Meet the Sisters Club: twelve-year-old Alex, aspiring actress and born drama queen; eight-year-old Joey, homework lover and pioneer wannabe; and smack in the middle, ten-year-old Stevie, the glue that holds them together through dinner disasters, disputes over stolen lucky sweaters, and Alexs going gaga over her leading man. Playfully weaving Stevies narration with Alexs scripts, Joeys notebook entries, and hilarious elements such as "How to Swear in Shakespeare" and "Dear Sock Monkey" letters, this hugely engaging novel showcases Megan McDonalds ear for dialogue, comic timing, and insight into the ever-changing dynamics of sisterhood.
McDonald manages to squeeze a lot of action into one story, but instead of feeling frantic, it feels like a real family.
