SuitabookHome for the Holidays (The Mother-Daughter Book Club #5)
Heather Vogel Frederick
- Reading
- As the fifth book in a series, it may help to ask whether your reader knows the characters already. If not, read together and pause when the different strands become hard to follow.
- Themes
- Reading together: The girls’ club reads the Betsy-Tacy books before its next meeting. Shared reading is a recurring part of the story, but how the book presents its value is not established.
- Belonging and home: A family visiting California feels homesick for its former life in Laguna Beach and questions where home should be. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Disrupted plans: A sledding accident changes two girls’ holiday plans; other plans are also disrupted by blizzards and disagreements. The plot includes setbacks, but their consequences and the characters’ responses are not established.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes a sledding accident, injuries, blizzards, squabbles and homesickness. The extent or detail of these moments is not clear, so consider checking in if these topics concern your reader.
