Greetings!
I discovered your book club on-line.
My new book from Random House, AS IF BEING 12 3/4 ISN'T BAD ENOUGH, MY MOTHER IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, might be a good choice for a future book club meeting.
At the heart of the book is the main character's warm relationship with her mother, who just happens to be running for president.
Vanessa suffers the humiliations that every tween suffers, but deals with some unusual ones as well, such as being trailed by a body guard and having her mother's press secretary attend her school spelling bee because her mom is off campaigning.
The book is also a fun way to introduce readers to the political process and what's going on during this exciting election year.
The book's gotten wonderful reviews, including this one from Buffalo News: "This entertaining novel offers believable middle school situations, a riproaring finale and a funny, memorable heroine."
If members of your club would like to e-mail me a few questions after reading the book, I'd be happy to reply.
All best with your book club!
