"THE PENDERWICKS
ON GARDAM STREET is a rare treat --- the family
novel that the entire family, from relatively young children to adults, will
enjoy reading aloud together. It is old-fashioned without seeming nostalgic,
optimistic without seeming naive, big-hearted and happy without seeming
saccharine. The Penderwicks are a modern literary family that families can feel
good about inviting into their own homes. And, since this latest novel is but
the second in a projected five-book cycle, readers can anticipate having the
Penderwicks in their lives for many years to come."

"Sometimes new people join your family and even when
they are lovely it can be tricky to adjust. This book, the second in the
best-selling Penderwick series, is about how the four sisters cope when their
Dad starts going on dates . . . Batty and Ben are onto the mysterious Bug Man,
Rosalind is feeling differently about her friend, Tommy Geiger, and Skye and
Jane do each other's homework with exciting results. I love the play that Jane
writes! The ending is super happy, Jeffery turns up again and the whole thing
makes you want to jump into the air."
