Until I reread it recently, I had forgotten why I loved the Penderwicks so much, thinking maybe it was just some childhood phase and I wouldn’t like it anymore. Now I remember why. These books are realistic, yet fun, and very upsetting at…

This book is absolutely perfect. My daughter read the audiobook over and over and over again over the years, as well as the sequels. Whenever she was sad, she'd listen to them again.

Reminiscent of Little Women, but with the misadventures of Anne of Green Gables, the Penderwicks are a loveable set of sisters. The story has an old fashioned feel set in more modern times.

I read this with my son (12 years old) and our neighbor (11 year old girl) as part of our summer book club. We really loved it! My son is a lot like Jeffrey (an only child who loves music) and our neighbor is the oldest of 4 children, like…
