The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy by Jeanne BirdsallMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh, to be a kid with the joys of summer vacation (although mine were never at a cottage on the property of a great manor), running around the neighborhood (this case a manor), getting into trouble, and playing with siblings and friends.
The characterization in this book is so well done. I feel like I know the characters personally--I laugh at their quirks, relate to them, ached with them.
Excellent book!

The Penderwicks on Gardam Street by Jeanne BirdsallMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jeanne Birdsall is such a great writer. I absolutely love the characters. They are real and I enjoy comparing myself as a kid (thoughts, attitudes, actions) to the girls.
This book is a great read aloud. It will probably appeal less to boys than the first one (this one has some dating and crushes involved).
