JOANNA PHILBIN

THE DAUGHTERS JOIN THE PARTY

Wow! I have Joanna Philbin, author of the Daughters series, here to visit. If Joanna’s last name sounds familiar to you, that is because she is the daughter of Regis Philbin. She knows a thing or two about being raised by a famous parent. That is what makes her series about daughters of famous parents to believable.

 I asked Joanna what we might find the purses of the Daughters in her series. With these girls and their individual styles, you just never know what they will be carrying around.

Lizzie’s Purse

• A copy of The Great Gatsby

• A journal and a fountain pen

• A ton of hair elastics

• A dogeared photo of her and Todd from fourth grade

• Berry-colored lip stain

• Amazon Kindle

• Cheap gold bangles from store in Chinatown

Carina’s Purse

• Her “panda” cell phone – of course!

• A protein bar

• A subway metrocard

• An Ipod shuffle stocked with Alex’s latest playlist

• Carmex lip balm

• Old rope bracelets that tore but she can’t bring herself to throw away

• Silver Oakley sunglasses

Hudson’s Purse

• Chanel lipstick

• A box of Guatemalan “worry dolls”

• A lucky rabbit’s foot key chain
