Description
This recently-published story teems with old-fashioned appeal. When their traditional vacation spot is sold, Professor Penderwick and his four daughters hear of a charming cottage though a friend. Professor Penderwick books it and the family hits the road. The cottage is part of a lovely estate and the girls are delighted not only with the beautiful grounds, but also with their newfound friends including Jeffrey, son of the owner, and Cagney, the young gardener. Unfortunately, Jeffrey's mother fears that the adventurous and imaginative girls may be a bad influence on Jeffrey, and she threatens to send him off to military school early. When Jeffrey comes to the girls with a plan to run away, what can they do to help? 262 pgs, pb. - Jess
Publisher's Description of Penderwicks: Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy
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.
