The Penderwicks
Summary
With more than one million copies sold, this series of modern classics about the charming Penderwick family from National Book Award winner and New York Times best seller Jeanne Birdsall is perfect for fans of Noel Streatfeild and Edward Eager. This summer the Penderwick sisters have a wonderful surprise: a holiday on the grounds of a beautiful estate called Arundel. Soon they are busy discovering the summertime magic of Arundel's sprawling gardens, treasure-filled attic, tame rabbits, and the cook who makes the best gingerbread in Massachusetts. But the best discovery of all is Jeffrey Tifton, son of Arundel's owner, who quickly proves to be the perfect companion for their adventures. The icy-hearted Mrs. Tifton is not as pleased with the Penderwicks as Jeffrey is, though, and warns the new friends to stay out of trouble. Which, of course, they will - won't they? One thing's for sure: it will be a summer the Penderwicks will never forget. Deliciously nostalgic and quaintly witty, this is a story as breezy and carefree as a summer day.

The Penderwicks at Point Mouette
Summary
With more than one million copies sold, this series of modern classics about the charming Penderwick family from National Book Award-winner and New York Times best seller Jeanne Birdsall is perfect for fans of Noel Streatfeild and Edward Eager. When summer comes around, it's off to the beach for Rosalind...and off to Maine with Aunt Claire for the rest of the Penderwick girls, as well as their old friend, Jeffrey. That leaves Skye as OAP (oldest available Penderwick) - a terrifying notion for all, but for Skye especially. Things look good as they settle into their cozy cottage, with a rocky shore, enthusiastic seagulls, a just-right corner store, and a charming next-door neighbor. But can Skye hold it together long enough to figure out Rosalind's directions about not letting Batty explode? Will Jane's Love Survey come to a tragic conclusion after she meets the alluring Dominic? Is Batty - contrary to all accepted wisdom - the only Penderwick capable of carrying a tune? And will Jeffrey be able to keep peace between the girls...these girls who are his second, and most heartfelt, family? It's a rollicking ride as the Penderwicks continue their unforgettable adventures in a story filled with laughs and joyful tears!

Neues von den Penderwicks
Summary
Es ist Zeit vergangen bei den Penderwicks. Rosalind studiert, aber Skye und Jane wohnen noch zu Hause und Batty ist mit fast elf längst nicht mehr die Jüngste. Denn da sind ja noch Ben und die kleine Lydia, die die Geschwisterschar komplett machen. In diesem Frühling entdeckt Batty, dass sie singen kann und wartet sehnsüchtig auf Jeffreys Besuch, um ihr großes Geheimnis mit ihm zu teilen. Und sie versucht über den Verlust von Hound hinwegzukommen, dem geliebten Hund der Penderwicks. Rosalind und Skye wiederum schlagen sich mit Liebesdingen herum, während Jane das Leben nach wie vor als Romanvorlage betrachtet. Und auch die beiden Kleinsten sind nicht untätig: Ben gräbt ohne Unterlass nach Schätzen oder Steinen, und immerhin von letzteren gibt es in Maine jede Menge. Und Lydia trägt ihre löwenzahngeschmückte Krone mit ebenso viel Stolz wie Batty früher ihre Schmetterlingsflügel. Einem neuen Abenteuer mit den Penderwicks steht also nichts im Wege!
