Review
Bronte and her parents have just moved to the California coast and she is determined to make friends here. As part of this new resolve, Bronte begins a book club which meets at her house. At the first meeting, Willow comes with snacks and Nan, also new to the area, arrives late, but no books are discussed. Bronte chooses the Island of the Blue Dolphins at the next meeting. Lupe, a close friend of Willow, and Jessie join Willow, Bronte, and Nan. As the girls continue to meet, the discussion focuses on them and the book recedes somewhat to the background in spite of Bronte's efforts. Bronte realizes that she and Nan have quite a bit in common and that Willow's life is not as perfect as it appears. All the girls learn from each other in the relaxed summer days before school begins. Bronte learns how to be a good friend and feel as though she belongs. The action moves along quickly in this short novel that seems ideal for middle school girls, especially girls who may be new to an area or those who have trouble making friends. The book concludes with tips for forming a book club and the recipe for Bronte's brownies. (Children's Literature - Elizabeth Fronk)
