About this audiobook
Could the book club break up?
When Jess is offered an anonymous scholarship to a prestigious boarding school, she's not sure that leaving home - and her friends - is what she wants to do. Meanwhile Megan's grandmother comes for a long visit and turns everything in the Wong household upside down; Emma crusades against her middle school's new uniforms; and Cassidy finds out there's a big change ahead for her family.
Inspired by Jess' unexpected opportunity, the book club decides to read Jean Webster's classic Daddy-Long-legs, and there's an added twist this year when they become pen pals with the girls in a book club in Wyoming. There's plenty to write to their new friends about, from a prank-filled slumber party to a not-so-secret puppy - and even a surprise first kiss.
In this third book in the beloved Mother-Daughter Book Club series, the girls learn that as long as they have one another - and a good book - they're ready for whatever eighth grade has in store!

Reviews for Dear Pen Pal
51 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book and the rest of the series is probably the best book series I've ever read, and I recomend it to all girls going into sixth grade (the whole series and not just this book).
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5These books are just good wholesome fun!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In this book jess goes to conial addicmey. Emma is very sad because her best friend is gone. Alsobecca joined the book club. Cassidy's mom is pregnant. Bad things are happening for the girls.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Let's get this out of the way first: I don't like Jean Webster's books. The only one I've read in recent memory was DADDY-LONG-LEGS, and it didn't work for me. The fact that the girls all loved it, then, didn't exactly ring true, though I was not bothered by the girls being unanimous in their enjoyment of LITTLE WOMEN or ANNE OF GREEN GABLES.
I had a hard time keeping the voices straight in this one, and I couldn't tell one pen pal from the other, even after the real-life pen pals came on stage.
The situations seemed real enough, what with lots of conflict and even more drama. One roots for these girls to find their way. And the grandmothers, both "real" and adopted, are my favorite characters by a mile. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is the third book in the Mother-Daughter Book Club Series. I had not read the other three. I will tell you up front that it was a “cute” book but not one I really enjoyed. The four main characters Megan, Jess, Cassidy and Emma are starting eighth grade. Just like my eighth graders there were new changes for them to face. Not all of them were pleasant or easy to handle. Amidst all of the situations the girls decide to become pen-pals with another book club in Wyoming. This is where I knew I would lose my students. I teach struggling readers. I fight to get them to read 10 – 30 minutes each day and for a large number of them they choose books that deal with issues they face, gangs, teen pregnancy, etc. They idea flowing throughout this book was that as long as you had a group of good friends and a good book then everything would work out. I will put it on my shelves but I can think off hand of only three students that would maybe enjoy this book. They are already readers with some skill problem areas.
