Description
The Penderwicks introduces readers to the charming, lively world of four sisters — Rosalind, Skye, Jane, and Batty — who spend a magical summer at a cottage on the grounds of the beautiful Arundel estate.
While their father works, the girls explore their new surroundings, have exciting adventures, and befriend Jeffrey, a lonely boy living at the main house with his rather uptight mother. What begins as a lighthearted holiday quickly turns into a meaningful summer filled with mischief, friendship, and a dash of rebellion, as the sisters band together to protect Jeffrey from being sent away to military school.
Jeanne Birdsall brings classic charm and gentle humor to this warm family story, reminiscent of Little Women and The Boxcar Children, with modern wit and energy.
