What do four sisters, a kind boy, and a mean old "witch" equal? A summer of excitement and danger. Rosalind, Jane, Skye, and Batty, are four sisters staying in the Arundel Cottage with their dog, Hound, for a nice family vacation. But, when they meet up with the owner of Arundel's son, trouble starts. They have to overcome danger, stereotyping, and a military school, to help their friend. I really enjoyed The Penderwicks and I would highly recommend this book to Middle School Students. ( 7th and 8th)
