The Penderwicks are going on a holiday
which they will always remember!
Stuck-up Mrs. Tifton, owner of the posh
estate Arundel, was in for a shock when
she rented out a cottage to the
Penderwicks, and now her life, her
prize-winning gardens, and most
importantly, her son, Jeffrey, may
never be the same again. Join the four
Penderwick sisters--practical
Rosalind, fierce Skye, dreamy Jane
(who’s going to be a writer someday),
and shy Batty (who always wears giant
butterfly wings)--their sweet father,
and the loveable family dog, Hound, for
a summer filled with fun and
adventures. This novel is the 2005
National Book
Awards Winner for
Young People's Literature.

I read this book and the second one and loved them both. Along with comedy, friendship, adventure, and love, you read a heart-warming tale about four sisters, and one very memorable summer.

I love The Penderwicks! I really felt that I was in the story. The sisters are so realistic, and the story is very well drawn.
