The much anticipated sequel to The Penderwicks is just as delightful as the original. The Penderwicks are 4 sisters Rosalind, Skye, Jane and Batty and their father. Their mother had died from cancer shortly after Batty was born and she had given their Aunt Claire a letter for their father to be given 4 years in the future when it is time for him to begin dating. Jeanne Birdsall has a knack for writing in a style remniscent of my childhood favorite Edward Eager an even refers to his books in the story. What an interesting, well educated fun family the Penderwicks are. Hopefully they will be back again soon.
