Five years have passed since the last time we visited with the Penderwicks. There have been some changes, additions and subtractions from the family, but they're still all Penderwicks! This book is told mostly from Batty's perspective, who is almost eleven years old and growing up quickly.

This book is a little more serious than I recall the previous books were, but still a delightful read and a fun visit with an unusual family. ( )

I so love this series and hope with all my heart that the Penderwicks have many more adventures. ( )

Charming, as usual. ( )

It's possible that my box of tissues and I stayed up until 2:00 in the morning to finish reading this. ( )
