As Emma, Jess, Cassidy, and Megan--along with their moms--read Daddy-Long-Legs, the classic by Jean Webster, they discover that life has a funny way of imitating art. Just like Judy in the novel, Jess has been given a scholarship to an exclusive prep school by an anonymous donor. Even though it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Jess is hesitant about leaving her friends behind. Add to the mix the unexpected arrival of Megan's grandmother from Japan, Emma's budding friendship with Stewart Chadwick (obnoxious Becca's older brother), and Cassidy's family-related ups and downs, and it's another year full of trials and triumphs--with plenty of humor sprinkled in.As Emma, Jess, Cassidy, and Megan--along with their moms--read Daddy-Long-Legs, the classic by Jean Webster, they discover that life has a funny way of imitating art.
