Book Review: Mother-Daughter Book Camp

 I've decided to start posting my book reviews as posts, and under the appropriate sections, just so it's more convenient for you guys to be able to read them right when they come out. And don't forget to vote in this week's poll and be honest ;).  So here it is:

Mother-Daughter Book Camp

Amazon Summary: Spend one last summer with the Mother-Daughter Book Club at camp in this bittersweet conclusion to Heather Vogel Frederick’s beloved and bestselling series.

After so many summers together, Emma, Jess, Megan, Becca, and Cassidy are reunited for one final hurrah before they go their separate ways. The plan is to spend their summer as counselors at Camp Lovejoy in a scenic, remote corner of New Hampshire, but things get off to a rocky start when their young charges are stricken with a severe case of homesickness. Hopefully, a little bit of bibliotherapy will do the trick, as the girls bring their longstanding book club to camp. 

  

My Review: I LOVED the Mother-Daughter Book Camp! I personally think it was the best one of the series because of all the little traditions and ideas that made it real. For example, the tradition of the beads and nicknames sounded pretty fun. The characters were pretty awesome too. All of the characters seemed a lot more grown up (even though Cassidy hasn't given up her pranking ways), especially Becca, as she isn't anything at all like she used to be.

I did have a few small problems with this book. How can they let children and counselors sleep in the middle of the lake on a boat? That seems pretty dangerous, considering how young some of the campers are (and that not all of them can swim). Thank goodness for the life vests. Also, I think the girls should have asked the directors before starting their own club with snacks, as food isn't allowed in the cabin. There was also minimal involvement of the book they are reading itself and their own mothers, which was okay, as I think the more important part was to see how the girls have grown and changed throughout the years. 

In the end, I give this book 5 stars. It's a satisfying end to the series, and I love the directions all the girls are taking in the future (well, except Emma's choice of college. She probably should have thought ahead a little instead of making hurried decisions). The cover of the book from Amazon is below:

Enjoy!
