BOOK REVIEW

THE CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER by Meg Mitchell Moore
Released: July 18, 2017

"Moore raises some interesting issues about class and the importance of money to happiness, but by solving her characters' problems too neatly and painlessly she undercuts the novel's seriousness, turning it into a Lifetime matinee."
Moore (The Admissions, 2015, etc.) offers a mildly thoughtful, mainly comforting slice of domestic pie in this story of a wealthy woman who temporarily returns to the working-class town of her youth. Read full book review >

BOOK REVIEW

SO FAR AWAY by Meg Mitchell Moore
FICTION & LITERATURE
Released: May 29, 2012

BOOK REVIEW

FICTION

BOOK REVIEW

READY OR NOT by Meg Cabot
FAMILY AND GROWING UP
Released: Aug. 1, 2005

"Cabot is a witty writer who has the ability to practically channel teen-speak, and while this work is thinner than her usual fare, fans should come away satisfied. (Fiction. 12-14)"
In this sequel to All-American Girl (2002), Samantha Madison, now almost 17, must cope with hero status in society (she saved the President's life) but unpopularity at school, the disconcerting but nonetheless intriguing discovery that models don't wear a stitch of clothing in life-drawing class and the possibility of sex with her boyfriend David, who just happens to be the President's son.
