What can a game of bridge teach about life? More than Emma ever imagined.
Description:
Emma Caldwell is twelve (almost thirteen) and completely unimpressed with her summer plans: spending one afternoon a week at Grammy Rose's bridge club. She expects boredom and awkward silence. Instead, she finds a table full of laughter, bold personalities, and stories that teach lessons she didn't know she needed.
Through twelve heartwarming chapters, Emma learns about:
✔ Courage in uncomfortable moments
✔ The power of speaking up with kindness
✔ Why effort matters more than excuses
✔ How friendships-new and unexpected-can change everything
Perfect for:
✔ Girls ages 10-14
✔ Classrooms and book clubs
✔ Readers who love humor and heartfelt lessons
Includes a free Book Club Kit with discussion questions, creative activities, and recipes inspired by the story!
