The Billionaire's Curse
The Book: Gerald Wilkins never considered himself a particularly exceptional thirteen-year-old. But that was before he inherited twenty billion pounds, a Caribbean island, a yacht, and three estates from a great-aunt he never knew. With this fortune, however, comes a letter. One from his great-aunt Geraldine. One that tells Gerald that she was murdered, and that it's up to him to find out why. (from GoodReads).
The Meeting: Lots of catching up. Hearing about everyone's holiday. Had a little discussion about how the girls are getting older and more mature and their book choices will reflect that. Moms be warned. After a little book discussion, including the colorful similes in the novel, the girls broke off into the groups to come up with similes of their own.
