Sisters Alex, Stevie and Joey usually get along famously. Although they each have their own interests, they support each other and cheer each other on. However, when both older sister, Alex, and middle sister, Stevie, decide to audition for the same part in the upcoming play their great friendship seems to fall apart.This book was written by Megan McDonald - most famous for the Judy Moody and Stink books. I think The Sisters Club will join those other series as being especially loved by students!
Each girl has their own creative, upbeat and fun personality, and Megan McDonald does a great job bringing them alive for us. Oldest sister Alex is the actress (think: drama queen) in the family. Middle sister, Stevie, does most of the narrating of the story. She is the singer in the family, but she also loves to be creative with cooking - and in this story she bakes hundreds of cupcakes. I love the way she puts her personality and her mood in the cupcake batter and in the cupcake names! Little sister Joey is doing her best to keep up. Her passion is Little Women, and she is constantly quoting from that book (which was one of my favorites too!) Throughout the book we get to read journal entries from Joey and plays written by Alex. They really add a lot to the story, and definitely let us know how each sister is feeling.
Whether or not you have sisters, check out Rule of Three - and the other books from this fun series by Megan McDonald!
I thought this book was fantastic also.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a really good book to read over the summer.
