Book Reviews of The Penderwicks on Gardam Street
Book Review: The Penderwicks Are Back
Summary: 4 Stars
The Penderwick sisters are back, but this time readers get to see them on their home turf. The relative calm of their cozy home on Gardam Street is thrown into uproar by the idea that their widowed father should start dating. Their beloved Aunt brings a letter from their late mother reminding their father that she doesn't want him to be lonely. The specter of a strange woman in their lives (and home) drives the girls to develop a Save Daddy Plan. Meanwhile, there's school trouble, boy trouble, and neighbor trouble for the four girls. The pacing of this sequel is stronger than the original, and all four girls' perspectives are represented in Birdsall's third-person narration. A sweet, slightly old-fashioned family adventure and a great pick for fans of Beverly Cleary's Beezus and Ramona.
Summary of The Penderwicks on Gardam Street
THE PENDERWICK SISTERS are home on Gardam Street and ready for an adventure! But the adventure they get isn't quite what they had in mind. Mr. Penderwick's sister has decided it's time for him to start dating-and the girls know that can only mean one thing: disaster. Enter the Save-Daddy Plan-a plot so brilliant, so bold, so funny, that only the Penderwick girls could have come up with it. It's high jinks, big laughs, and loads of family warmth as the Penderwicks triumphantly return.General Books
