The Penderwicks is an amazing book about four sisters that rent a Cottage on a giant estate. They go on many adventures and soon meet many friends. They soon find out there is more happening on the estate then they are being told. If you want a less violent and creepy The Night Gardener.
“Problems are solved and lessons learned in this wonderful, humorous book that features characters whom readers will immediately love, as well as a superb writing style. Bring on more of the Penderwicks!” --School and Library Journal, starred
"A comfortable childhood adventure. Just the ticket for an extended family car trip."–Celeste Steward, Alameda County Library, Fremont, CA
