The Penderwicks A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy by Jeanne Birdsall


Title: The Penderwicks

Author: Jeanne Birdsall

Stars: 5 Because this is the most warm hearted book that I
have ever read!

Description: Meet the Penderwicks, four different sisters with one special bond. There's responsible, practical Rosalind, stubborn, feisty Skye, dreamy, artistic Jane; and shy little sister Batty, who won't go anywhere without her butterfly wings. When the girls and their doting father head off for their summer holiday they are in for a surprise. Instead of the cozy, tumbledown cottage they expected, they find themselves on a beautiful estate called Arundel. Soon the girls are busy discovering the summertime magic of Arundel's sprawling gardens, treasure filled attic, tame rabbits, and the cook who makes the best gingerbread in Massachusetts. But the most wonderful discovery of all is Jeffry Tifton, son of Arundel's owner, who quickly proves to be the perfect companion for their adventures. The icy-hearted Mrs. Tifton is not as pleased with the Penderwicks as Jeffery is, though, warns the new friends to stay our of trouble. Which of course they will-won't they? One thing's for sure: it will be a summer they will never forget.

(Sniff) I love this book. I can not tell you how much this book means to me.
When the Penderwicks go for their summer vacation there whole summer is filled with magic and wonderful excitement. Rosalind 12, Skye 11, Jane 10, and Batty 4. These are all trouble makers.

When they end up at their cottage everything changes. They meet Jeffery, a young rich boy who isn't stuck up like his mother. The Penderwicks have to help Jeffery through is terrible lifetime so he doesn't have to go to Pensey, a Military school for young boys.

This story is a very warm hearted story. Me, my brothers, and my mom loved it. My mom cried in it. I really recommend this book for you if you like these kind of story.

There is a couple of kisses in this book.
