The Penderwicks on Gardam Street by Jeanne Birdsall

pbutts — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:40:28 +0000

The Penderwicks are back from their summer vacation and we get to see what school is like for the four sisters–Rosalind, Skye, Jane, and Batty. Skye and Jane are on the same soccer team and one of my favorite scenes is when Skye tries very hard to keep her cool on the field when the referee misses a foul on her sister. We also get to meet Mr. Penderwick who has just received a letter from his wife that his sister was given by Mrs. Penderwick when she died. The letter encourages Mr. Penderwick to begin dating and of course the girls are afraid of having one of those wicked stepmothers they’ve read about. The sisters put together an elaborate “Save-Daddy Plan” that naturally has hilarious results.

The Penderwicks books remind me of one of those great movie comedies with an ensemble cast of great actors.
