Book Reviews of The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy (Penderwicks (Quality))

Book Review: Thank YOU Jeanne Birdsall!!
Summary: 5 Stars

There are some books that change us forever--The Penderwicks was that book for my daughter. She was a first grader when her grandmother found The Penderwicks and read it to her. She loved the book so much, we read it to her again and then she it read it herself. What this book did for my daughter was turn her into a passionate reader--perhaps it would have happened anyways--but this book was her first "crush" and at eleven she reads at least a book a week. The writing in The Penderwicks is beautiful; the characters are well drawn and the story line is compelling and appropriate for kids 7 and up. Don't let your child or grandchild miss it.

Summary of The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy (Penderwicks (Quality))

This summer the Penderwick sisters have a wonderful surprise: a holiday on the grounds of a beautiful estate called Arundel. Soon they 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 best discovery of all is Jeffrey 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 Jeffrey is, though, and warns the new friends to stay out of trouble. Which, of course, they will-won't they? One thing's for sure: it will be a summer the Penderwicks will never forget.

Deliciously nostalgic and quaintly witty, this is a story as breezy and carefree as a summer day.
