a very funny book filled with adventure about three sisters
Stevie, Alex, and Joey, who are always having meetings about
their “club.“ The three sisters don’t always
get along with each other, but no matter what happens, the girls
always stick together. You will be surprised to see what happens
to their club when one of the sisters gets too old for the club.

This book The Sister's Club is about
three sisters. Alex, the oldest loves acting. Stevie, the middle
sister, hates acting. Joey, the youngest loves pioneers and
jello. When their mother gets a job on a TV. cooking show, "Fondue
Sue", the family falls apart.
The three sisters team up and try to get their family back together.
They try to make family dinners and spend time together as a
family. All their efforts fail. When Alex plays Belle in "Beauty
and the Beast" that role becomes her main concern. But
when opening night occurs and the first act ends, Alex trips
on stage and hurts her ankle. She is not able to perform
the second act. Since her sister, Stevie, is
the only one who knows the part she steps
in and replaces Alex. To find out if Stevie succeeds or fails
as an actress or if the family gets back together you must read
this book.
In my opinion, this book is a 10! It shows real life situations
and problems that occur in some families. It was a realistic
and a great book to read.

This book is about three sisters Joey, (the
youngest) Stevie (in the middle) and Alex, (the oldest!) The story
switches from each sister's point of view, but in a way that is not
confusing. Stevie's main problem in the book is being "in the middle"
and not feeling important enough. Her whole family loves to act
and even her great grandma immigrant, loved to act! And as if anything
couldn't get any worse, she lives in a town called "Acton" like "Act"
"On!" It seems as if the whole town loves acting except Stevie! Joey
doesn't really have a problem, because she is so young, (and obsessed
with the pioneers) that she has a totally optimistic view on
everything, and loves Jell-o. Last but not least, the "Star" of the
family destined for an acting career, Alex, is so caught up in her
auditioning, you might not see her for a week, because she's
practicing so much! But I guess all that practicing pays off, because
she ends up getting a lead role in a play. Somehow in between all of
this, the family starts falling apart because everyone is so busy,
they can't even squeeze in a family meal with each other. To find out
what happens, read this book.f I had to
rate this book from a 1 to a 10 (10 being the best) I would rate it a
11, because I loved how it changed from one sister's to another's
point of view because you got to look at everything in a different
perspective. This book was so good, I finished it in one day!
