So she asks her teacher miss. Philips. Miss Philips chooses Bea, Meena and Atlanta, four very different young girls fort the book club.Their discussions and reviews will be heard on radio, chaired and presented by the incredibly cool Jazz. The three girls expand their horizons as they get to know each other.

The first meeting was a nightmare but later they become friends. But one day something happened. Mary does the unforgivable and, having flirted with Bea's new boyfriend Georg, makes an all-out play for him. The tender new friendship of the foursome is fractured as a result of what Mary has done.

Beatrice: Nobody really knows her. She lives with her father and her brother and she has much to do after school. She is always early and she is always waiting fort the others. She reads the books immediately but often she doesn’t say a word when they discuss the books. If she saw Georg the first time she had butterflies in her tummy.


Message/interpretation/topics dealt with

The message is that 4 very different girls come together to spent their time in a book club.

They became friends and the story tells the time together with all up and downs in the friendship.

Although they are so different they like each other.


Personal comment:

I think the book was really cool do read. It was not too difficult but sometimes it was a little bit boring. The book is for young girls who likes do read stories about friendships and growing up. All in all I like this book.


Photocopy one characteristic page:

This is a chapter about Mary.

It was my idea, the whole thing. I masterminded it an no one knows, not even Mum. Of  course it wasn’t like some big bank robbery or anything like that, but it was still my plan an even if I do say so myself it worked really well, until it all went wrong.

Anyway I was listening to Jazz’s show one morning and she mentioned a new slot they were introducing on the show, a ‛Book Club’. Since Harry Potter and all of that, books are now back in an computer games out, so they wanted to have al live book club on the radio every week.

All they needed were four Year Ten girls and four Year Ten boys to be the readers and then come in every week to talk about the books.
