The+Penderwicks

The Penderwicks By: Jeanne Birdsall  Nominated By: Lili Culhane

Skye, Jane, Rosalind and Batty Penderwick don’t have anywhere to go for the summer. Then their dad finds a nice place called Arundel Hall to spend their vacation. The group does not expect anything more then a normal vacation, though what they find is a vacation full of adventure, mischief, friends and of course family. Quickly the group runs into trouble when snooty old Ms.Tifton comes along making their summer nothing more then dreadful. Like when she went out of her way to make restrictions for what the girls could do, where they could go at Arundel and who they could play with. Can the group solve that problem when they meet Ms.Tifton’s nice son Jeffery? You will have to read the book to find out. The first reason why I chose to nominate this book is because it always made me want to keep reading. The book was just too amazing at the end of chapters that I could not stop. The next reason why I chose to nominate this book is because it has adventure. I know that kids like to read about adventure and this book has a lot, like when the girls have to hide in the garden urn so that they don’t get into trouble with Ms. Tifton. I also chose to nominate this book because it was Intriguing, just right book for 4th graders and suspenseful.
