The daughters take the stage is the third book in the series. Hudson jones is making her first album that soon will be released in spring. But her mom, hola jones the famous pop singer with Grammy awards and platinum records tries to take charge. Then Hudson decides to drop the album and become the lead singer for a band called the rising signs in westchester. Then she makes up with her mom and she does the album Use your passion for what you want to do. This is what Hudson struggles with in The Daughters Take the Stage by Joanna Philbin. Hudson loves music, especially singing and the piano. Her idea of being an aspiring singer is not even close to what her mom, the pop sensation, Holla Jones. Not only does she have to deal with the making of her album, but she also has to deal with how to listen her mom, and to be with herself and the sametime. Hudson goes through a funny and hopeful journey, when deciding what her mom wants, and what she does. This book was really nice. You see a side of any girl who is growing up and needs to stand up and speak for herself. Joanna really described Hudson's feelings well, and showed how she grew up in such a short time. I wish though that Joanna made a more exciting plot to her story, something that I would remember two or three years from now. The nice part of this book compare to Joanna’s other stories in this series is that the same things did not happen to Hudson as the other girls, like crushes, and feelings and so on. That was nice because if you like these kind of books like I do, it is what you want to read, but not the same thing over and over again. Maybe more romance would have been nice, which is why I rated this three stars. I would recommend this book to other girls my age, but not as much as the previous two books, but it is worth the read.
What do You think about Take The Stage (2012)?
