About this ebook

With over one million copies sold, this series of modern classics about the charming Penderwick family from National Book Award winner and New York Times bestseller Jeanne Birdsall is perfect for fans of Noel Streatfeild and Edward Eager.

When summer comes around, it's off to the beach for Rosalind . . . and off to Maine with Aunt Claire for the rest of the Penderwick girls, as well as their old friend, Jeffrey.

That leaves Skye as OAP (oldest available Penderwick)—a terrifying notion for all, but for Skye especially. Things look good as they settle into their cozy cottage, with a rocky shore, enthusiastic seagulls, a just-right corner store, and a charming next-door neighbor.  But can Skye hold it together long enough to figure out Rosalind's directions about not letting Batty explode?  Will Jane's Love Survey come to a tragic conclusion after she meets the alluring Dominic? Is Batty—contrary to all accepted wisdom—the only Penderwick capable of carrying a tune?  And will Jeffrey be able to keep peace between the girls . . . these girls who are his second, and most heartfelt, family?

It's a rollicking ride as the Penderwicks continue their unforgettable adventures in a story filled with laughs and joyful tears!

Ratings and reviews

Awesome, funny and emotional. I liked the part about the Moose with a fresh Pies sign around his neck. But my favorite part of the book had to be the when Alec told Jeff that he was his father. It's sad, but I like that it made me feel sad, it means that I so inthrold with the story that I could feel what they felt. I don't get why Jeffrey was so upset about it though, It's clearing not Alecs fault that Alec didn't know he excisted, if anything he should be mad at his mom, for causing the whole disaster and happy that he finally met was father.

Read all of her books and can't seem to get enough I reread it at least 5times a week I wonder if she wrote any other books.

This book is wonderful, now i'm no expert but this has a great plot, is funny, has a wide variety of characters, and is just plain hooking. Once you start this book you can't put it down. GO PENDERWICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
