Did I like this one even better than the first book? I believe I did. The sequel, The Penderwicks on Gardam Street, which can stand alone, takes place after the girls return home and start back to school in the fall. There they became friends with a boy named Jeffrey Tifton, who lives in the mansion there. In that first book, the Penderwick sisters spent three idyllic summer weeks at a cottage in the Berkshires in Massachusetts, part of a country estate called Arundel. If you have read it, then you already consider yourself a literary friend of motherly and sensible Rosalind (12), science and sports-minded Skye (11), aspiring author Jane (10), and animal-loving Batty (4). If you haven't already met the four garrulous Penderwick girls in the first book, The Penderwicks, you'll want to stop right here and get a copy.
