The Penderwicks

A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy

 

This is such a wonderful story of summer fun and innocent mischief reminiscent of my young reading years.  Four sisters go on a magical summer vacation to an estate called Arundel.  They romp in the vast gardens, find a treasure trove of fun in the huge attic, and even meet face to face with a viscous bull.  But, the most fun is sharing the magic with the discovery of a new friend, Jeffrey.  Then cold hearted Mrs. Tifton enters the picture.  Will she ruin everything?

I bought this book at a book festival that I was fortunate to be able to attend in San Antonio.  I met the author, Jeanne Birdsall, and got to hear how she came to be an author.  Here is a picture of Jeanne signing my book!
