Wonderful and outstanding.

The four Penderwick sisters are each nothing alike: motherly Rosalind (age 12), tough-girl Skye (age 11), daydreamer Jane (age 10) and imaginative Batty (age 4). For four weeks in the summer, they rent a summer home in Massachusetts - this year it's a new cottage called "Arundel". The vacation house sits far back on a huge property, behind a large mansion. Living in the mansion is Mrs. Tifton and her son, Jeffrey - who is more like a prisoner than a resident. When the Penderwicks befriend Jeffrey, the summer escapades begin: bull chases, ruined garden parties, lost bunnies. The book is a fun read and very well written. I recommend it for girls 9-12. There is a sequel book: The Penderwicks on Gardam Street. Another Penderwicks book is planned for summer 2011.

A fantastic story that includes the perspectives of all the main characters (no small feat). What I most enjoyed was the tone of the book. It feels like a classic children's novel, the writing style evokes those of author's from times past, yet it occurs in the present day. Very clever!

This is wonderful story with echoes of Alcott. The four sisters are very different but work together as a tight-knit family unit. I especially like 11-year-old Skye - who does math problems for fun and wants to be an astrophysicist. She certainy gets in a lot of trouble - and so do teh rest of her sisters.

that is the best book ever
