Email from Polly Horvath

We received an email from Polly Horvath, the author of "Everything on a Waffle."  

Hi Cheryl

Thanks for such a kind letter.  You all should do the sequel next - One Year in Coal Harbor.  I think mother daughter book clubs are such a great idea!

Best,
Polly

Next Meeting....The Candymakers

At our next meeting we will be discussing "The Candymakers."


Picture from our meeting and discussion.

Everything on a Waffle


Our last book before the summer break was "Everything on a Waffle" by Polly Horvath.  We really enjoyed the book and getting to "know" the main character, Primrose.  The book has a local restaurant in it called "The Girl on the Red Swing."  This local restaurant is different than most because everything is served on top of a waffle. The owner of the restaurant teaches Primrose how to cook and throughout the novel, there were recipes at the end of each chapter. The recipes are fun and we loved reading about Primrose’s journey throughout the novel.  For our meeting, we had a real treat because Angela and Ashley brought their own family recipe for waffles.  They were delicious!

We loved the book, all of the recipes, and the waffles.
