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 fi nds out there's a big change ahead for her family.Inspired by Jess's 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 fi rst 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!
