When JEANNE BIRDSALL was young, she promised herself she'd be a writer someday--so she could write books for children to read and enjoy, just as she did at her local library. She is now the author of the Penderwicks series: The Penderwicks, The Penderwicks on Gardam Street, and The Penderwicks at Point Mouette. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband.
★ “Problems are solved and lessons learned in this wonderful, humorous book that features characters whom readers will immediately love, as well as a superb writing style. Bring on more of the Penderwicks!”
—School and Library Journal, starred review★ "Delightful. Not since the Marches (of
Little Women) have readers met more engaging girls."
—Booklist, starred review★ “Summer is the perfect time for enchantment and adventure. First-time author Jeanne Birdsall delivers both with ease in her fanciful novel.”—
BookPage, starred review“Suffused with affectionate humor, this charming, old-fashioned story feels familiar in the way the best books feel like old friends. Nostalgic but never stale, this fresh, satisfying novel is like a cool breeze on a summer day.”—
The Horn Book Magazine “Sunny and carefree as a June morning, this old-fashioned story takes readers along on one family’s unforgettable summer vacation.”—
